Özet:

The ageing population around the world is increasing due to reasons such as the length of average life life, the development of health opportunities and access to health. This increase will have significant consequences. One of the consequences that will cause the increase in population is the increase in age-related diseases. Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic and untreated disease that is the most important risk factor. The fact that the disease is chronic and in its advanced stages the patient loses the ability to take care of himself reveals the problem of the person who will take care of the Alzheimer's patient. In this study, general information on Alzheimer's disease was given to the care problems that families face after. The situation of the social services interventions in Turkey on the emerging problems and the improvements that can be made towards the interventions are discussed. Social services interventions to Alzheimer’s patients are found to be mainly focused on institutional care, home care, medical and gerontological social services. The absence of institutional conditions and alternative institutional models, the reduction of home care services to social aid and the absence of specialization in the field of medical-gerontological social services include the parts of the system that must be organized. There are recommendations on relevant topics.
