ABSTRACT

With the intensification of old aging, the number of disabled elderly in rural area is increasing, but the development of long-term care system is lagging behind. Family care, community care and institutional care are the three major components of the long-term care system for the disabled elderly in rural areas in China. Nowadays, we are facing problems such as the gradual weakening function of family care, the lagging development of community care and the low marketization of institutional care. Based on the current situation and problems of long-term care supply in rural areas, we should improve family care supporting policies, vigorously develop community care services, and promote the market-oriented reform of institutional care services.
