| Abstract | This study aimed to examine public attitudes in Taiwan toward three types (institutional, community-based and home-based) of long-term care arrangements, as well as the factors associated with these attitudes. Data were collected from the 1994 Social Image Survey in Taiwan, which involved a representative nation-wide random sample with 1,556 respondents aged 20-64. The results revealed that 58.1% of the respondents would choose home-based care to assist dependent elderly in their families. Community-based care and institutional care were selected by 31.8% and 10.1% of the respondents respectively. It is concluded that a large portion of the study participants anticipate the development of institution-based and community-based care by the government. |
