Abstract
The article presents the problem of recreational activity of seniors with intellectual disability (ID). Members of this social group spend their old age in nursing homes – Polish social welfare institutions. Recreational activity has been presented through its features: types, forms, functions, levels and barriers. Recreational activity of seniors with ID is underresearched, as evidenced by poor literature on the subject. Recreation – defined as voluntary activity in spare time – is stereotypically meant for individuals with intellectual norm.

Their recreational activity is at emotional and task level, according to J. Nash’s theory .
