After an overview of various methods generally used to assess the quality of services in care homes, we use the model of participative evaluation as a yardstick against which to examine the quality of the evaluation practices among Slovenian care homes. Firstly, a survey among managers revealed various types of evaluation used and the fact that nearly all homes use it. Secondly, in DSO Fužine (chosen as a case study), a qualitative study was performed by placing the "evaluation practice" into the local frame of awareness and by means of a focus group of residents, aiming to identify residents' perceptions of the power of their voice regarding the daily life in home, regarding various power instances and the role of evaluation practice. The overall perception of residents was they have a fair control over life in the home, a form of "direct democracy"; while these findings cannot be generalised to all homes, they certainly represent a surprising extra quality in comparison to the present "outside world" of the currently troubled Slovenian societyPrispevek obravnava evalvacijo v domovih za starejše, s poudarkom na participativni evalvaciji, katere specifični cilj je krepiti moč/opolnomočiti ljudi s sodelovanjem, z razvijanjem skupnega lokalnega znanja ter s spreminjanjem organizacijske kulture v domu. Po kratkem pregledu raznovrstnih metod ocenjevanja kakovosti storitev v domovih za starejše analiziramo evalvacijske prakse v slovenskih domovih za starejše in kakovost ter praks primerjamo s participativno evalvacijo kot idealno-tipskim modelom. Najprej, z rezultati naše ankete direktorjev domov ugotovimo, da evalvacijo uporabljajo skoraj vsi domovi in to zelo različne metode. Nadalje smo izvedli fokusno skupino med prebivalci Doma starejših občanov Fužine izbranega kot študije primera in tako umestili evalvacijske prakse v lokalni okvir znanja. Na podlagi fokusne skupino smo ugotavljali kakšna je percepcija prebivalcev doma glede njihovega vpliva v vsakdanjem življenju doma, nasproti različnim vodilnim strukturam ter vlogo evalvacije pri tem. Splošna ugotovitev članov fokusne skupine je bila, da imajo precejšen vpliv na življenje v domu in obliko neposredne demokracije. Teh izsledkov sicer ne moremo posplošiti na vse domove, zagotovo pa predstavljajo presenetljivo visoko kakovost v primerjavi z "zunanjim svetom" sodobne krizne slovenske družbeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo antropologov Slovenije
