A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS REGARDING THE DEGREE OF SATISFACTION OF THE SERVICES GIVEN BY THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CARE HOMES FOR THE ELDERLY Abstract : In the context of economic and social realities of our country, more and more elderly choose to spend the last years of his life in homes for the elderly. Reasons for choosing this path are many, but the most important is the lack of support and the need for personal care companions. These two reasons were cited by the elderly from the study, adding that they do not want to be a burden for their children. One of the problems encountered when an elderly person decides to enter a home is the dilemma of choosing a public or private care home. In these circumstances, the present study aims to present the public-private comparative perspective, the realities of the homes of the elderly both in terms of material and human conditions and the satisfaction of the beneficiaries of these homes
