On of the results of demographic changes is, on the one hand – an increasing number of seniors needing care and, on the other hand – a decreasing number of their potential informal carers. Poland, in the matter of senior care, is still a conservative country, where a family is the main institution of care, and where it is also a cultural norm and a moral duty to care about senior family members. However, a family carer may not manage to deal with the number of roles he or she should perform, especially when they are and wish to remain professionally active. The current article is a review of the issue of family care. Firstly, it shows the problems faced by informal carers when undertaking the new role. Secondly, it shows that not self-sufficient seniors in the so-called phase old-old age do not need to stay at home and therefore be socially excluded. They can also remain active.

Zagadnienia dotyczące przeobrażeń współczesnej rodziny są jednym z ważnych problemów w obszarze polityki społecznej. W niniejszym artykule skupiono się na problemach wynikających z przemian demograficznych – zwłaszcza starzenia się ludności, konsekwencją których jest wzrost znaczenia funkcji opiekuńczej rodziny względem najstarszych jej członków. Istotną rolę w tym obszarze odgrywa także ekonomia społeczna, stając się ważnym czynnikiem w systemie pomocy i wsparcia rodziny. Przedsiębiorstwa społeczne mogą wspierać rodziny poprzez świadczenie usług opiekuńczych na rzecz osób starszych. Jest to istotny aspekt działań w obliczu starzenia się społeczeństwa polskiego. Wraz z wiekiem spada sprawność funkcjonalna, pojawia się wielochorobowość, a to skutkuje zapotrzebowaniem na usługi opiekuńcze na rzecz osób starszych. Usługi dedykowane seniorom w ramach systemów pomocy społecznej i ochrony zdrowia nie zaspokajają potrzeb wszystkich osób, które ich potrzebują, stąd konieczność poszukiwania nowych rozwiązań w tym zakresie.

Issues related to the transformation of modern family are one of the important problems in the field of social policy. This article focuses on the problems arising from demographic change – particularly the ageing of the population, which consequence is the increasing importance of the family’s caring role to its oldest members. Social economy plays an important role in this area, becoming an important factor in the family help and support system. Social enterprises can support families by providing care services for the elderly. This is an important aspect in the case of the ageing of Polish society. With age, functional capacity decreases, and multiple diseases develop. This results in an increasing demand for care services for the elderly. Services dedicated to seniors under the social welfare and health care systems do not meet the needs for all those who need them. Therefore, a need to look for new solutions in this area exists.
