Within the Gerontology Center Belgrade, the Operating Unit (OU) "Day Care Centers and Clubs" was founded in 1982, which had in its complement 9 day care centers and clubs for the elderly. The importance of non-residential care of elderly citizens demanded extension of the field of activity of this OU by setting up of Home Help Service in 1987.

OU "Day Care Centers and Clubs" coordinates the operation of 23 day care centers and clubs for the elderly in 14 Belgrade municipalities (Zemun, Novi Beograd, Stari grad, Savski venac, Palilula, Voždovac, Rakovica, Čukarica, Mladenovac, Sopot, Grocka, Obrenovac, and Lazarevac) as well as the Home Help Service in the territory of 14 Belgrade municipalities (Vračar, Savski venac, Zvezdara, Zemun, Stari grad, Palilula, Novi Beograd, Voždovac, Rakovica, Zemun, Mladenovac, Sopot, Obrenovac and Lazarevac).
