The study aims at identifying the initial conditions/prerequisites for the development of a care system for people who need it (the elderly, the disabled etc.). Based on the assessment of world experience, a conclusion was drawn on the effectiveness of the so-called „green care”. To ascertain the necessity in the development of such a type of activity, the structure of the permanent rural population was analysed, according to which the expediency of developing care facilities and services was justified. On the basis of the survey results with respondents of different age groups and status (heads of united territorial communities, youth aged 15−23, and older people over the age of 80 years), the difference in the choice of priorities for spending funds in different directions was set. Young people and the elderly consider the social component to be a priority, while the heads of the united territorial communities give priority to the road repair. On the basis of the analysis of the population dynamics indicators and the number of employed rural population, the reserve of people of working age was revealed, which, after completing relevant courses and obtaining the necessary qualifications, may be attracted into care activities. In the course of the research, the ways of improving the regulatory and legal framework of Ukraine, governing the provision of care services and their accounting systems, were substantiated.
