    AnnotationAfter the age of 60 many elderly people experience increasing health problems and have an increased need for social and health care services. Slovakia will experience an aging population and the aim of this study was to assess their future needs and analyze access to social and health care services in Slovakia. Qualitative and quantitative data was obtained by a survey based on closed and open questions and interviewing two focus groups. Data was gained from 59 mayors of the South Gemer Region (Slovakia). The qualitative data was analyzed by phenomenological analysis and the quantitative data by descriptive statistical analysis. Our data showed a severe capacity challenge at various public retirement homes; additionally, the national and municipal services are not fully integrated. Furthermore, we detected that the needs of elderly people are often fulfilled by next of kin. We conclude that in the years to come there will be insufficient social and health care services in Slovakia. We recommend that the coordination of social and health care services for the elderly takes place at a national and regional level.
