This aims to propose functions and characteristics of long-term elderly care insurance and elderly facilities in Korea, by comparing elderly welfare system and environmental characteristics of major countries that experienced aging society in order to understand the effect and ripple effect of elderly welfare system. The study was conducted in the following three steps, to compare elderly welfare system and facilities in major countries, regarding change of special structure of elderly care facilities following introduction of long-term elderly care insurance. First, for privacy and independence of elderlies, facilities will need to be built in a small unit and care rooms reduced to suit one or two users. This can lead to increase of the number of rooms as well as area of individual bedrooms. Also, introducing a group home system that combines unit spaces will emphasize the importance of individual elderly care. Second, local governments must make effort to support renovating and maintaining houses of elderlies and, when renovating elderly care facilities, make a long-term plan for systematic management. Third, integration of various facilities can be expected. As functions of care facilities develop, facilities can be combined or linked with other various facilities, which should take into account integration of medical institutions as well. Furthermore, hospice facilities should also be considered for such integration for patients who end their lives in the care facilities. Consequently specific standards and measures must be prepared according to characteristics of elderlies at facility, and, following revision of the long-term elderly care insurance law, many existing buildings are expanded, extended, repaired or renovated. Therefore, specific alternatives for standards need to be prepared regarding expansion, extension, repairing, and renovating of care facilities. |
