Abstract: The aging of the population leads to an increase in the social obligations of the state. In these conditions, the state system of providing social services to the population requires modernization and the involvement of civil society resources to increase its effectiveness. In the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2014-2015, an experiment was conducted to denationalize the social service system to the population and create a competitive environment for the provision of social services at home, including for elderly citizens. An assessment of the effectiveness of changes and the possibility of using experience in other regions of Russia is given. The study showed that two bottlenecks are possible. The first is awareness and activity of providers of developing services. For many organizations, working with the elderly, using such a mechanism is unusual, and many suppliers are also insufficiently informed about these opportunities. But an information campaign and a well-established mechanism for sharing the best social practices will quickly eliminate such bottlenecks. But the second group of problems - insufficient motivation of the elderly to develop - is more difficult to solve. Therefore, it is necessary to implement separate projects to inform and motivate the elderly contingent to use certificates.
