Abstract

This article describes how the phenomenon of an aging population in Taiwan has become increasingly evident in recent years as the elderly population dependency ratio has gradually risen. Therefore, a study on long-term care (LTC) resources has been a key issue that had needed discussion. Currently, Taiwan's government has enacted legislation and policies related to LTC, but most of them involved institutional care. The traditional idea of most elderly is aging in place, so this study has become very necessary. The study analyzed the Open Government Data of LTC to discuss the home care service resource utilization with regard to LTC.
