| Summary: | 博士 === 國立中正大學 === 社會福利系 === 91 === Normatively speaking, the family is the ideal field of caring. Due to the ageing population and changing structure of the family, substantially a number of family caregivers are struggling under enormously physical and financial burdens. For this reason, the support and services of home and community care are needed. Thus the burden of procuring and paying for long-term care falls heavily upon the disabled people themselves and upon their families. In the other word, these families and other informal caregivers play a vital role in the long-term care network, and their efforts need to be supported. By sharing the caring duty and financial responsibility with the whole society, the family will still be the ideal field of caring for the disabled people and their family members. Given the appropriate model of care in accordance with the type and level of needed care, the efficiency of resources allocation can be upraised. This research will focus on the mechanism and dispensation of the long-term care resources and financing system based upon the philosophy of “family centered caring in place”.
