The main purpose of this paper was to describe the present status of long-term care promotion in Taiwan and relevant developments. As currently envisioned, the main strategic aims of Taiwan’s long-term service system will be to 1) plan and promote regulatory enforcement measures; 2) institute a community-oriented long-term care system for indigenous Malayo-Polynesian citizens living in remote areas and offshore islands; 3) manage the quality of care delivered by long-term care organizations; 4) ensure the availability of adequate professional human resources in long-term care; and 5) deliver appropriate care to the physically and mentally disabled. Executive authorities look to institute and sustain a long-term care system that meets the long-term care requirements of Taiwan.
