Summary		Prispevek je pregled tuje literature s področja kakovosti življenja starostnikov v domskem varstvu. Opisani so različni pristopi raziskovalcev in njihove metode merjenja kakovosti. Predstavljen je koncept individualnega pristopa k starostniku, ki lahko bistveno vpliva na kakovost življenja starih ljudi. Vsebuje štiri osnovna področja: upoštevanje starostnikove avtonomije in dostojanstva; čim daljša samostojnost in spodbujanje k samooskrbi; zdravstvena vzgoja starostnika in njegove družine; ter timsko delo. Vse to pa predstavlja drugačen pogled na življenje starostnika v domskem varstvu.
