Abstract
The ageing of society is a fact which requires modifications in the organization of care for the elderly, particularly those old people who are also mentally disturbed. The authors discuss the current situation in Poland and the directions of development of psycho-geriatrics against the backdrop of organization of care of elderly mentally disturbed patients in other countries.
