  The ageing is the global phenomenon, it is main more difficult financial and social
  problem for modern societies. If we accepted the ageing = disease identity, this does not
  help solving the problem, it increases cost only. It is still high number of people over the
  age of 65 in hospital inpatient departments. A change of view is needed. The aging is
  regarded as a decompensation process, which has parts and interventions possibilities. If
  we intervene in the downturns of the decompensation process with appropriate means,
  decompensation can be reduced; life-years in health can be increased. The goal is to
  preserve self-sufficiency as much as possible. Should be system established, because in
  other way this will be for profit service only. We have reviewed the major experiments that
  have taken place in the world and seem appropriate to handle the issue properly. However
  in order to achieve results, necessary change not only the structure bat also the attitudes.
