Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare Long-Term Care section provides information and access to services that support older adults and people with care needs, while helping families navigate available assistance. Its approach promotes ageing in place through a range of connected options, from family support and care at home to community-based and residential services. Visitors can learn about care and professional services, transportation, assistive devices, home accessibility improvements, discharge planning, dementia care, and residential care. The site also explains benefit and payment arrangements, services available to families employing foreign caregivers, and support for family caregivers.

The portal offers practical tools and public resources, including a map for locating nearby long-term care services, guidance on establishing a care institution, and information on applying for care. It also publishes policies, funding information, statistics, service satisfaction surveys, reports, and educational materials. Dedicated resources cover care-worker qualifications, certification, training, and continuing education. For assistance, users can call Taiwan’s long-term care hotline at 1966.
