Government Data

This article describes how the phenomenon of an aging population in Taiwan has become increasingly evident in recent years as the elderly population dependency ratio has gradually risen. Therefore, a study on long-term care (LTC) resources has been a key issue that had needed discussion. Currently, Taiwan's government has enacted legislation and policies related to LTC, but most of them involved institutional care. The traditional idea of most elderly is aging in place, so this study has become very necessary. The study analyzed the Open Government Data of LTC to discuss the home care service resource utilization with regard to LTC.

Community Based Services

Community-based, long-term care has become an increasingly popular and needed service for the aged and disabled populations in recent years. These services witnessed a major expansion in 1981 when Congress created the Home and Community-Based Waiver authority for the Medicaid program. Currently, all states offer some complement of community-based, long-term care services to their elderly and disabled populations and nearly all states have Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waivers which extend these services to their Medicaid eligible clients.An ever increasing proportion of the population is in need of community-based, long-term care services. Between nine and eleven million Americans of all ages are chronically disabled and require some help with tasks of daily living. In 1990, thirty percent of the elderly with at least one impaired activity of daily living used a community-based, long-term care service. Not surprisingly, expenditures for community-based, long-term care have increased.

Abstract This study examined whether long-term care service use (LTCSU) is associated with informal caregivers’ burden, depression, and health status. Eligible articles collected data directly from caregivers, written in English, and allowed for extraction or computation of effect sizes. MEDLINE, PsycINFO and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global databases were searched between September 2017 and January 2018. The risk of bias of individual studies was assessed regarding confounding, study power, and other biases. This unfunded study was registered with PROSPERO: CRD42018108827. Of the 419, 209 and 346 articles identified, 24, 14 and 15 articles that involved 12,530, 6,687 and 7,331 informal caregivers respectively, were eligible for analyses regarding the above associations. With unadjusted effect sizes, omnibus tests found statistically non-significant overall effect estimates in the association of LTCSU with caregiver burden, depression, and health status. Subgroup analyses, however, revealed that the above associations differed by service type, caregiver sex, and country, respectively.
