近几年,中国台湾地区老龄化加重速度超过全球部分国家或地区,2018年3月已迈入高龄社会,此时65岁及以上的老年人口比例已超过14%;预计到2026年,台湾将正式步入超高龄社会。老龄化的逐渐推进促使长期照顾服务日甚一日;为此,台湾于1983年在地方县市开始推动志工居家服务,发展至2017年,长期照顾服务已通过“立法”形式确立并正式施行。长期照顾服务内容涵盖照顾服务、人力培育、财源配置等。长照计划从1。0提升到2。0,因此,长照计划将为老人及失能者提供从健康、亚健康阶段至临终关怀全方位的照顾服务,并借统一服务窗口为被照顾者提供长期照顾服务,提升照顾者与被照顾者的生活质量,进而促进长期照顾产业的发展以及为老年人提供优质、平价且普及的长期照顾服务。
<<In recent years,the aging rate of Taiwan has increased faster than that of many countries or regions in the world. In March 2018,Taiwan has entered the aged society. At that time,the proportion of people over 65 has exceeded 14% of the population in Taiwan. It is expected that by 2026,Taiwan will officially enter the super-aged society. The gradual advancement of aging promotes the rapid development of long-term care services. To this end,Taiwan began to promote volunteer home care service in local counties and cities in 1983,and the long-term care service has been established and implemented in 2017. Long-term care services cover nurising care services,personnel training,resource allocation,etc..
