In the wave of global aging, the trend of population aging in our country is alsoincreasingly serious. People aged60years and above accounted for the total populationproportion rising. China’s elderly population will be most populous in the world.Because our country is in the period of social transformation at the same time, alongwith the urbanization process, female employment rates increased, the floatingpopulation also tend to be more frequent, and for a long time since the country’s familyplanning policy, elderly and empty nest old man is also rapidly increasing. Because of alack of good care, elderly long-term chronic disease prevalence rate is also relativelyincreasing. As the corresponding the need of long-term care services fail, half the size ofthe disability, the elderly population is growing.Compared with the aging population of developed countries, due to the relativelylow level of economic development, it also presents a condition that "not rich first old"or "old first has not prepared”. The characteristics of existing pension services providedby the economy level of development is difficult to meet the service needs of olderpeople, it is more difficult to fully meet the need higher levels of disability and theelderly care service demands.Problems of the long-term care for disabled elders are continuously outstanding,and have brought great economic pressure to the family and society, causing the wideattentions of relevant departments and academia. Party congress put forward thestrategic target of "old time", the17th session of fifth plenary session proposed thepolicy of "priority to the development of the social endowment service" and "12thfive-year plan" proposed to the development of Chinese aging in elderlyservices."planning as a whole development institutions endowment service. advancingsupport, maintenance and care pension institution building". social endowment servicesystem construction of the12th five-year plan (draft), to analyze the current seriousdisability, the elderly care situation, and put forward the "adjust measures to localconditions, give prominence to the key to long-term care, rehabilitation care andcommunity care as the key point in the day, and the classification of different pensionservice facilities function, give priority to solve the most pressing demand ofcross-species entitled groups,"3without "the old man,""five guarantees supporting anddisability, half that of the elderly care and nursing problem." Academia is the long-term care system and the construction of service system, Three care patterns wererespectively studied for home care, community care, institutional care.Despite decades of pension services in our country has made significantdevelopment, home, community endowment gradually developed, pension institutionsand the number of beds have increased significantly. But our country’s long-term careservice system is still imperfect, home care, community care and institutional care existthe problems. Such as home care family care function weakened, meanwhile the contentis more onefold and lack of the necessary social support. Community care servicefacilities is insufficient with the nursing staff shortages. Institutional care is mainly lowpension institution supplied and utilization coexist, for private pension institutions,development insufficient, lack of standardization, and lack of continuity. To solveproblems above, such suggestions are put forward as strengthening the construction oflong-term care related system and law, increasing social support, strengthening therational planning. Policy support, fostering care personnel, strengthening thesupervision and management and so on. In order to improve the long-term care systemin China, mainly adhering to the government as the leading in the development, on thebasis of home care and community care, giving play to the role of institutional care ofstrong support, strengthening the elderly support and actively mobilizing social forces.
