The Long-Term Care 1.0 was implemented in Taiwan in 2016 and focused on disability patients. However, patients with dementia were not enrolled. Therefore, the government revised and implemented the Long-Term Care 2.0 which included patients with dementia and planned to provide multiple dementia services to meet the needs of dementia care. The health service for dementia in Chunghwa was conducted for la years, in addition, the services mentioned on four dimensions: to provide direct service for dementia patients, to organize a support system for dementia caregivers, to create a friendly community for dementia patients, and to train professional dementia manpower. Though sharing our experience, we hope that the government built a well-organized framework for dementia services and support more patients with dementia and their families.
