Reviewing past domestic research, focusing more on the use of existing elderly care services, less on the way of elderly care in the future, and also a lack of understanding Taiwan people's perceptions of future self elderly care option from different age cohort. Therefore, this study wants to explore the future self elderly care options for adults of different age cohort in Taiwan in recent years, and hopes to understand whether people's elderly care option in Taiwan changes with age, as a reference for domestic elderly care planning.
