Satisfaction with the quality of life in a home for the elderly during the pandemic COVID-19

The appearance of the SARS-CoV-2 virus caused a pandemic that had a huge impact on life, but also brought about changes in the lifestyle of all the inhabitants of the planet Earth. The pandemic particularly affected the elderly population living in homes for the elderly and infirm. This has caused a number of problems and misfortunes that have been tried to overcome in the best possible way for users of nursing home services. Therefore, there is a need to research satisfaction with the quality of life of home users for the elderly and infirm during the pandemic COVID-19. The research was conducted by empirical testing on a sample of 102 elderly respondents who use home accommodation services for the elderly and infirm. The aim of the research is to find out whether the users of services in the home for the elderly and infirm are satisfied with the quality of life during the pandemic COVID-19. The tasks of the research are to acquire knowledge about satisfaction with instructions and information during a pandemic, feelings of tension, nervousness, fear, depression and sadness due to separation (isolation) from their loved ones. Research on the quality of life of home users for the elderly and infirm during the pandemic showed that respondents are satisfied with the quality of life, have no strong sense of fear, are satisfied with epidemiological guidelines, but not measures because they show extreme dissatisfaction, isolation and inability to visit loved ones. In general, it can be concluded that users of homes for the elderly and infirm are satisfied with the quality of life, but as respondents seem to be a very vulnerable group in society, their quality of life should be frequently checked and improved in every way.
