| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 社會暨政策科學學系 === 104 === Taiwan became an aging society in 2005 and would turn into aged society and super aged society respectively in 2018 and 2025 according to the National Development Council’s forecast. Followed by the low birth rate and low total fertility rate, the population aging speed of Taiwan is the number 1 in the world. To lower the impact to national economy development by population ageing and soothe the booming demand of institutional long-term care service, the government launched a Six-star Project and started to implement the community care sites nationwide to let the senior citizens spend the rest of their lives in handy and familiar environment and hopefully realize the vision of aging in place.
This study utilizes the quantitative approach and convenience sampling method to survey the senior participants’ daily life demands and service satisfaction by the community care sites In addition, another questionnaire were issued to site managers to investigate the difficulties they met in operation and the willingness to offer more service to the seniors. With the aids of SPSS software analysis on the returned questionnaire, the prioritized tasks and unfulfilled items in life demands can be clearly identified. Also the operational difficulties and resolution to the issues can be ranked through the analysis.
The study result revealed that most participants of the silver haired are happy with their everyday life and would give high scores to the service by the community care sites. The summary of the analysis indicated that further simplification of the expense claim and verification requirement is the most expected tasks from site managers’ perspective. Unless more professional service personnel and operation funding can be allocated, it is not possible for the existing care sites to provide any further service to link up the long term care assistance from routine healthy promotion to the seniors under well-being. Some improvement recommendations were proposed to the central government and local government in legislation system and operation practice. Finally，the study urged that each generation (the young and elder workers and silvered haired level) set up the proper mindset against aging and take measures in terms of personal health management, financial planning, social network and participation toward aging in place.
