مستخلص: Seniors wield influence across a spectrum of social spheres. Understanding their attitudes, needs, challenges, and expectations emerges as imperative for shaping effective social policies and social inclusion. Their significant heterogeneity necessitates the repetition and deepening of analyses for an objective picture possible. The main aim of our studies was to broaden the knowledge about seniors, their life situation, life satisfaction, quality of life and everyday problems and challenges. Two rounds of pilot studies were conducted. The first taking place in the Q1 2020, and the second in the Q1 2024. The same interview questionnaire for both rounds was used. Sampling for each study was conducted using the snowball method. The image of seniors depicted in our research aligns with that of seniors across the EU. While there have not been many changes observed over time, we observed their increased willingness to engage in social interactions post – COVID-19 pandemic. The study's significance stems from its direct engagement with seniors, enabling candid discussions wherein they shared insights into numerous facets of their lives. We discovered seniors' aversion to self-identifying as 'seniors' and their reluctance towards utilizing services explicitly aimed at their demographic age group. The study underscored the imperative of addressing seniors' needs holistically, as exemplified by Stanimir's House of Seniors' Needs framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
