[Application of research in policy notes regarding housing for the elderly]

In this article we present the results of an analysis on notes of the government and two master-organizations written in the last fifteen years. The analysis confined to the policy on housing- and care-facilities for people of sixty-five years and older living independently or in residential and nursing homes. We examined how research has been applicated on the level of concepts, which determine the outlook upon the life-situation of the elderly and on that of the direct influence of research-data on intentions of the institutions. In the notes of the government and the master-organization of the old people homes (LSB) we see very much interest in research on the efficient operating system of intra- and extramural facilities. The notes of the leagues of the elderly (COSBO) have been focussed on the weak social position of old people and the constraints of choices. The analysis illustrates the selective use of research output and the necessity of pluriform programming of research.
