Old age is not an attractive phase of life because it has a number of consequences for the state and seniors; it is a source of care and struggle for them in life, carries the risk of many diseases, is a source of worries and struggles in life and forces them to reorganize their existing lives. It is accompanied by numerous crises, which include m.in. loneliness. Especially nativity is felt by the loneliness of the inhabitants of social welfare homes, which is associated with strong emotions and stress. This is due to the fact that these institutions in society are not always seen as the ideal of spending old age. It is worth considering the causes and nature of this problem in order to take adequate measures to lead the senior out of loneliness and prevent this phenomenon.
