Taiwan has entered an aging society, with the national epidemiological survey on dementia in community-dwelling older adults conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (2020–2023) indicating a prevalence rate of 7.99% among individuals aged 65 and above, which increases with age. In response, the Ministry of Health and Welfare launched the Long-Term Care 2.0 Plan in 2017, extending services to individuals aged 50 and above with dementia and establishing community-based dementia service centers to promote aging in place and community care. However, the expansion of dementia service centers, the scale of services, and coordination with long-term care institutions and community networks have posed significant challenges. Additionally, differences in the professional backgrounds of center operators and service personnel may influence their perceptions and implementation of policies. The applicability of existing evaluation indicators and their weight distribution in accurately reflecting the uniqueness and operational effectiveness of each center requires further investigation. This study employs the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework to construct evaluation indicators and integrates the Modified Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine indicator weights, systematically analyzing their significance and interrelationships. The results indicate that the customer dimension is the key factor in enhancing service quality, with respective weights of 0.35, 0.38, and 0.41 assigned by industry supervisors, government administrators, and scholars. In contrast, the financial dimension received lower weights of 0.12 and 0.19, reflecting concerns regarding financial subsidy policies and the centers’financial autonomy. Furthermore, cluster analysis identified“non-reliance on subsidies and self-formulated financial strategies”as a crucial financial strategy, suggesting a collective expectation for dementia service centers to gradually achieve financial independence. The establishment of these evaluation indicators provides a systematic framework for guiding the future development of dementia service centers. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, contributing to the enhancement of dementia care service quality and long-term sustainability. |
