The purpose of the article is to analyze the aging experiences of elderly women in Estonia and the factors influencing them. The assessments of two groups using social services are compared-the elderly living in Tallinn's social houses and the elderly receiving care at home. From February to August 2011, a total of 80 elderly women were interviewed. Inhabitants of social houses find that their old age is satisfying more often (65% of the inhabitants of social houses and 40% of the people in home care). Many home care clients were convinced that it is best to spend old age among loved ones and in a familiar environment. Those living at home have many difficulties, which is why 20% of them are on a waiting list to go to a social house. Home services should include services with which the inhabitants of social houses are very satisfied.
本文的目的是分析爱沙尼亚老年女性的衰老经历及其影响因素。对使用社会服务的两组人群进行了比较评估，一组是居住在塔林社会住房中的老年人，另一组是在家接受护理的老年人。2011年2月至8月，共采访了80名老年女性。社会住房的居民更常认为自己的老年生活令人满意（65%的社会住房居民和40%的居家护理人员）。许多居家护理对象坚信，在亲人身边和熟悉的环境中度过老年时光是最好的。居家生活的人有很多困难，因此其中20%的人在等待入住社会住房。家庭服务应包括社会住房居民非常满意的服务。
