Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was aimed to evaluate the current dementia care system and suggest the policy considerations in the perspective of the welfare policy for the elderly. This study used the policy analysis framework of Gilbert & Specht (1974) and Gilbert & Terrell (2013) and identified 4 major criteria such as ① allocation, ② benefit, ③ delivery, ④ finance. The current dementia care system had various limitations such as the largest blind spots of the policy target population, inadequate client-tailored services, deficiency of the direct services supporting the families, poor access to health and welfare services. The efforts to improve the dementia care system should involve enhancing the early detection programmes of hidden patients in the community, reinforcing the tailored outreach case management services, strengthening the linkage between health and welfare deliverly system, expanding of at-home support to reduce the burden of family caregivers, and enhancing the financial sustainability of the social insurance systems.
