Abstract: Due to ageing of the population, the issue of suitable housing provision for the elderly is becoming increasingly critical. Several types of housing are available to the elderly in Slovenia, and this article focuses on the two most widespread forms: eldercare facilities and owner-occupied housing. It presents their features, critically analyses the problems connected with both types of housing and presents solutions to these problems. The article is based on an analysis of relevant research literature, statistical data and the findings of studies dealing with this topic. It discusses and introduces new findings on possible ways of ensuring an adequate level of housing provision for the elderly in Slovenia in the future.
