Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the organisation of Swedish senior housing and the mechanisms of its functioning. After an analysis of this issue, conclusions for Poland have been provided. Sweden experienced the consequences of the aging population process earlier than Poland. In order to minimise its negative effects, the Swedes managed to create a few solutions for supporting seniors, especially in the field of housing and long-term care. One of the most significant measures which was taken to achieve this goal was to oblige municipalities to take full responsibility for elderly care. Thanks to that, Swedish local authorities decided to privatise parts of their tasks and take part in creating supply for senior housing on the real estate market.
