One should find answers for the following questions: How should assistance be organized for condemned also for individuals with dementia? What are key factors in organizing such assistance? Regarding growing demand for elderly care in penitentiary, such questions cannot remain without answers.

Intention of researcher was extracting something, that was unperceivable. Text pictures biography analysis of individual, who faces critical moments in his life, interpreted by including them in the history about life’s turning points. Regarding depicted background, additional framework clarifying intentions of researcher working in the field of hermeneutics, was epiphany, used as genuine experience, dividing seniors’ life for “before” and “after, for “at the time” and “at present”
