The emotional functioning of older people depends on many factors. Diverse and rich activity every day seems to be very important. Undertaking a large number of activities at an elderly age and fulfilling oneself in social roles (also ones newly started) is a condition for efficient functioning, life satisfaction, well-being and health. Older people are at risk of social exclusion, being unnecessary for others or even being a burden on one’s surroundings. Hence, support and inclusion programs for various tasks and activities become extremely important. The aim of the presented research was to present proposals and evaluate the effects of a program dedicated to seniors, which was to improve their quality of life, psychophysical and social health. The program involved 50 seniors from 2 different support centers, including 43 women and 7 men, average age 77.51 ± 9.51. The assessment used the SUPIN questionnaire (Positive and Negative Feelings Scale), MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) and the VAS pain scale. The obtained results confirmed the beneficial effect of the proposed activation program on the psychophysical health of the respondents. All subjects increased their level of positive emotions, while the level of negative ones decreased (p <0.05), hand functionality and general well-being improved, back and pain significantly decreased.
