The purpose of this research was to gather information on the horizontal solidarity phenomenon among senior citizens. Three points of analysis have been used to define the concept of horizontal solidarity: individual help, community life and living together. The study presents a profile of senior citizens firmly rooted in their community, rather active and having frequent social contacts with their relatives. It emphasized the importance of the family in maintaining the existing solidarity, especially when the individual is not self-sufficient. The results of the research challenge the popular myth which stipulates that senior citizens represent, in the community, a passive, socially-withdrawn group.
