Abstract		This qualitative research, conducted in one of the Slovene institutions, offers an insight into occupational experiences, needs, and occupational deprivation of the residents. The aim of the study was to gain an insight into occupational experiences and needs of residents living in one of the long-term special social institutions. For the needs of the study, a qualitative paradigm was used when using interviews for data collecting, and the constant comparative method of the analysis. Findings analysed by constant comparative method, show that the institution does provide some occupation in every day life. But at the same time, the institution prevents the residents from engaging in additional occupations. It also does not provide any opportunities to residents, where they could prove themselves and their capabilities. The last and most important finding reveals the residents' need for better contacts with other residents, the staff, and people from outside.
