“…W przypadku osób korzystających z instytucjonalnej formy opieki (domy opieki, domy seniora, domy pomocy społecznej) dodatkowym pojawiają-cym się problemem jest jednoczesne odpowiadanie na potrzeby nie tylko jednostki, lecz grupy ludzi zamieszkujących daną placówkę [11,[13][14][15][16]31]. Zinstytucjonalizowana opieka geriatryczna wiąże się z ryzykiem uprzedmiotowienia pacjenta -ograniczeniem jego wpływu na rytm dnia codziennego, dobór współlokatorów, posiadanie przestrzeni osobistej, dostęp do mediów i oferty kulturalnej.…”
