Long-Term Care in the 21st Century: Perspectives from Around the Asia-Pacific Rim

This valuable book discusses policies and programs for long-term care in seven countries: The United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Each country is covered in two chapters, one to examine the philosophy and values that underlie its approaches to long-term care, the second to discuss its systems of service delivery. Long-Term Care in the Twenty-First Century provides a thoughtful, well-researched analysis of the ways each country handles financing arrangements, development of client classification systems, and case management in both residential and community-based systems.
