The paper outlines some determinants of the formation and present situation of the several kinds of services for the aged with regard to a broad concept of intervention. There are some obstacles for the idea of intervention: -the nearly uncontrolled growth of the number of places in homes for the aged, -the present situation of the medical system, -lack of trained staff, -lack of tools for assessment and evaluation. Nevertheless the disproof of the deficit theory of aging made a lot of people wait for practical suggestions in respect of intervention.
本文概述了针对老年服务的几种形式在形成和现状方面的一些决定因素，涉及广泛的干预概念。干预理念存在一些障碍：——养老院床位数量几乎不受控制地增长，——医疗系统的现状，——缺乏训练有素的工作人员，——缺乏评估工具。然而，衰老缺陷理论的反驳让很多人期待有关干预的切实建议。
