Research on the Establishment of a Long-Term Care System for the Elderly with Alzheimer’s Disease Under the Background of Long-Term Care Insurance: A Literature Review

Abstract

With the aging of the country’s population structure, the problem of social pensions is becoming more and more serious. As for the issue of social pension, the elderly with Alzheimer’s disease are a special group, and the issue of care services for these elderly has attracted widespread attention from society. However, judging from the current level of social security provided to the elderly with dementia in the country, there is a serious imbalance between supply and demand. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved urgently and is of great significance for further improving the country’s social pension security system. Routine care is limited to hospitals and mainly focuses on the patient’s condition. Patients fail to receive comprehensive care services and the effect is not ideal. Therefore, in order to improve patients’ cognitive function and quality of life, and learn from international experience, a “community-institution-home” three-dimensional linkage care model based on long-term care insurance can be established. The application of this model can effectively solve and further improve the country’s elderly care and social security system.
