The main idea of this final work was to explain the issue of the cost of living in nursing homes with the regard to the average income of citizens in Croatia and Slovenia and to analyse the impact of different factors such as society, the capacity of nursing homes and the demographic growth of the elderly population on creating the prices of nursing homes. Due to all the above, as an ideal solution, a quality infrastructure network of homes for the elderly is imposed in which the population would have timely health care and will be exposed to socialization of members of similar age, which would provide them a high quality of life in old age and prevent isolation, loneliness and succumbing to chronic diseases characteristic of that age. According to the data in the paper, it can be seen that the most common users of nursing homes in Croatia are middle-educated or low-educated women in rural areas, who have lower financial incomes with chronic diseases and limited mobility. Also, the capacity of homes for the elderly in Croatia is continuously growing during the period from 2017 to 2019. The empirical part of the paper compares infrastructure networks and prices of homes for the elderly between Croatia and Slovenia. It was found that Slovenian accommodation for the elderly has more monthly accommodation prices, but therefore offers more medical services and well-equipped homes. Also, the most frequent users of homes for the elderly in Slovenia are highly educated women, with medium and higher financial incomes, which is why they could afford this type of accommodation. Finally, it is important to point out that the Government of the Republic of Croatia has made strategic documents that contain that will reduce the accelerated aging of the population.
