Abstract

The aim of the article is to present a detailed analysis of these three scenarios: conservative, realistic, and innovative, for the development of social services for independent individuals. This includes considering their advantages, disadvantages, and potential implementation outcomes. The conducted analysis aims to provide decision-makers, practitioners, and researchers with valuable information that can aid in the development of effective social policy strategies in the context of the growing demand for caregiving services. In the face of dynamic demographic and technological changes, understanding these three approaches is crucial for shaping future actions for independent individuals.
