The public Long-Term Care system in Taiwan has been in development since the 1990s. Although a social insurance system was planned, public LTC in Taiwan is funded through taxes. In 2017 the government launched LTC 2.0, a new policy aiming to develop a universal LTC system with an emphasis on home and community-based care and better integrated with the health care system, particularly with primary preventive care and home-based hospital care following hospital discharge (Hsu and Chen, 2019).
