East Asian countries are the most rapidly aging regions in the world, as the life expectancies of their populations are relatively high. As long as longevity increases without a meaningful increase in health-adjusted life expectancy, the proportion of life spent in poor health and the number of older people living with disease and functional impairment is bound to increase.¹⁾ This is a critical issue that threatens the sustainability of each society. Thus, it has been a high policy priority to develop long-term care systems separately from or integrated with the healthcare systems beyond medical care, including disease treatment and prevention. A long-term care system is defined as a system that enables older people experiencing significant declines in capacity to receive the care and support of others, consistent with their basic rights, fundamental freedoms, and human dignity.²⁾ Several countries have separate long-term care systems. In Japan, the most aged country in the world, the long-term care insurance system was initiated and established in 2000. It has been 12 years since the Korean government implemented a long-term care system incorporated with the National Health Insurance in 2008. In Taiwan, a variety of long-term care services have been provided to the public by the tax-funded system.
