    Long-term care is a new area of social protection that is based on the usersʼ needs and their understanding of the quality of life. In many countries direct payments are an important part of the ... long-term care system. Discussed in the article is the development of direct payments in Slovenia and other European countries. Different systems of long-term care and direct payments schemes are presented. In Slovenia long-term care is provided by different legislation and by different pillars of social security, as an integrated system long-term care has yet to be established. Experiences of the pilot project in direct founding with the resettlements to the community are presented in the last part of the article.
