摘要：This research wanted to understand the quality of life of the elderly placed in the homes for the elderly and disabled in Zagreb. In the introduction, the theories about old age and aging are presented, as well as previous research conducted on the quality of life of elderly people. The research was conducted on the quota sample (N=250) among the people placed in the homes for the elderly and disabled in Zagreb. The questionnaire was constructed on the basis of multiple instruments used in similar research and adapted to the needs of this research. Factor analysis revealed several factors which constitute the subjective quality of life (the satisfaction with life, satisfaction with accomplishments and satisfaction with the life in the home), objective quality of life (financial independence and health) and the satisfaction with the services in the home (social life and activities, accommodation, staff and food). The total quality of life, observed through subjective and objective scopes of the quality of life, proved to be average. The worst was the economic independence of elderly people. Pearson’s correlation confirmed a correlation between the aspects of the quality of life and the satisfaction with the services in the home, so that the people who are more satisfied with the services in the home, rate their quality of life higher.
