Abstract

Introduction: Positive or negative attitudes on the part of people working in the domain of elderly care are especially influential with regard to the benefits offered by the social services to the elderly. In this context, the attitudes of professionals in nursing homes, social service centers, and in the elderly care and rehabilitation centers are examined in this paper, which used the city of Ankara for its sample.
