Abstract

Nowadays, geriatrics and gerontology are facing a great social chal-lenge. On the one hand, the age of human life is significantly extended, and on the other hand, families of people in the third age increasingly do not feel obliged to surround their Seniors with support and care. The life of older people, even in modern well-organized and affluent societies, is not free from threats related to their safety. Therefore, the question arises how to act so that people in old age feel satisfied with the fact that they were given to live to a ripe old age? However, taking adequate measures in this area and ensuring them the need for security in all psychosocial dimensions requires, above all, a deeper understanding of the society's attitude towards people of senior age. This study presents the results of research on attitudes towards old age, perception of the senior age as a value in the upbringing of the young generation, and the place and importance of older people in the family.
