Arrangements for the Care of Elderly in Shanghai / Baru, Rama V; Nundy, Madhurima   Journal Article
Nundy, Madhurima Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article looks at the arrangements for the care of elderly in Shanghai through the conceptual framework of the ‘care diamond’ and ‘continuum of care’. The findings, that are based on fieldwork conducted by the authors in Shanghai, delineate what constitutes care diamond in the city for the elderly population. This is mapped through the levels of care from home-based to tertiary-level end-of-life services that are needed by the elderly population. It also looks at the emerging markets of care in this sector and discusses whether multiple actors providing a range of services achieve continuum of care for Shanghai’s elderly population.

Israel’s public policy for long-term care services / Cohen, Erez   Journal Article
Cohen, Erez Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Global population ageing trends and a rising life expectancy emphasise the significance of policies regarding long-term care services provided to severely disabled elders in various countries. This article focuses on the long-term care policy implemented in Israel and examines its different features and compatibility to client needs. It shows that Israel’s long-term care policy suffers from considerable faults, notably insufficient budgeting, poor quality caregivers, low number of local long-term care workers, and excessive reliance on foreign workers. The article then suggests ways to increase efficacy and improve public policy in long-term care.
