The western societies is characterized by a strong future concern and the
members of the society are valued most of all according to their capability to
produce. In our time the elder ness is representing a rapidly increasing number
of relatively well kept elders. What sight of the future does the aging human
have? Are one meditating of what kind of service and care one are going to
need? The purpose with this study was to describe how individuals in ages
between 60 and 96 sees, both the future and their coming need for care in
relation to sex, age, social activities and experienced health. The material
was taken from ?SNAC-Blekinge? witch is a part of a bigger national study; SNAC
(The Swedish National study on Aging and Care). The analysis showed that elder
persons rather remain living at home even though they get ill. Women meditates
more often than men about the future and what kind of help they will be
needing. The future sight of the elders has a obvious connection to
experienced health ? the better health the brighter future view.
