Abstract

Successful or health aging may not be enough of explaining all perspectives of aging-related consequences in the upcoming super-aged society. Korea has experienced a rapid decline in the traditional family structure and a soar in nuclear families or solitude. Korea sustains paradoxically dissociated delivery of health care and welfare despite a decade of policy implementation of long-term care insurance. On November 20th, 2018, to resolve these challenges, the Ministry of Health and Welfare proclaimed a comprehensive blueprint, “community-based care program for the elderly”. “Community-based care program for the elderly” is considered as a shortcut to “Aging in Place”, later life residential sustainability in the same community and a proven better living outcome compared with institutionalization. As the frontline practitioners of caring older adults, this proclamation needs more practical details of integrating health care, physical dependence, monetary status, and eventually, placement. Despite different health care system structure and preferences of patients and their caregivers between Korea and United States, current review aims at assisting Korean practitioners with understanding the all-relevant trajectories of an elderly lung-cancer surviving man in Ohio, where remains geographic mixture of rural and metropolitan characteristics.
