Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the influence of matching occupational therapy offer to
the needs of elderly people and the impact of this matching on their well-being. The study involved
60 people attending occupational therapy in Adult Day Care Centers in Poznan. The research was
conducted with the use of the author’s Evaluation of Well-being Questionnaire, which includes 6 scales
that investigate functioning in the following spheres: social, emotional, cognitive, physical, sense of
personal development, and self-acceptance. Reports included standardized interviews with occupational
therapists. Interviews respecting occupational therapy purposes and methods applied in this
kind of elicitation. The results of this study highlight three cluster centers – cluster A (n = 5): people
with malaise in all tested dimensions; cluster B (n = 15): people threatened by malaise and cluster
C (n = 35): people with good well-being. Being male and a higher level of education turned out to be
a risk factor. Interviews with occupational therapists confirm a poor adaptation of the activities
offered to the needs of, in particular, men and the better educated.
