Social services
Social services
Such services include the care of the elderly (e.g. retirement homes), the ill (e.g. nursing homes), services for the disabled, child care services, and other consulting services (e.g. family planning services, services for the homeless).
Social services are primarily intended for the weaker members of society and aim at improving their living conditions. Such services involve a number of activities such as counseling, treatment, care and education, and usually involve direct contact with the "clients" (i.e. persons receiving the services).
