The contribution describes the system of social services in the Czech Republic, the advantage of which can be taken not only by persons over 50 years of age. The social services are based on the Law on social services delimiting the terminology and grouping the services by different types and forms. The contribution deals with the social services most frequently used by the generation 50 plus and proposes suitable approaches to planning social services in a way providing the efficacy of compiled plans of social services for villages, cities and regions and their comparability and agreement with the methodology of the Ministry of Labour and Social Services of the Czech Republic. The process of planning social services is focused on two levels - the mid-term plan of the development of social services for planning these services within regions, and the development plan of social services for planning these services within areas of villages or cities. In their contribution, the authors conclusively point out risks, which can negatively affect the process of planning social services.
