Özet:

The 65+-year-old population of Turkey, 82 million of the total population, has passed 7 million, and the proportion has reached about 9 percent of the total population. 26 460 elderly individuals are unable to provide the well-being of this population with the existing corporate care systems based on the facilities they serve. Turkey should develop social policies and practices parallel to the growing elderly population. This is the way to prevent existing and possible social problems. Disadvantaged groups play a decisive role in the formation of social welfare. It is possible to enhance the well-being of the elderly, one of these disadvantaged groups, with various practices. The home care system is one of these practices. Apart from the elderly, children, disabled, chronic patients and other disadvantaged groups and individuals who need care can increase their individual well-being with the home care system they will benefit temporarily or permanently. The increase in well-being in disadvantaged groups increases the well-being of the whole society. For this reason, we recommend the “National Home Care System” (UEBS) that will increase individual and community well-being. This system is consistent with the family structure, social structure, economic efficiency, existing opportunities and general life preferences of Turkey. This system is also a need, effective, sustainable and lasting solution to the social service objective of "to bring disadvantaged individuals to the family and to the family in the well-being of society." This sub-system must be part of the "National Integrated Social Service System" which will integrally manage all the social services structures, possibilities, functions and practices of the country.
