摘要：

In the past decade, the number of nursing beds in China has increased annually by an average of 10%, reaching 4.3 million in 2013. Although the State Council pushed for further increases to a ratio of 30 nursing home beds per 1000 persons by 2015, service utilization, quality assurance, and regulatory oversight are the inherent challenges in developing an equitable long-term care (LTC) system that can safeguard older persons' rights. We review and analyze both laws and policies in light of demographic and socioeconomic changes and advocate 3 policy directions for LTC development in China: allocating LTC resources with comprehensive eligibility criteria, with particular consideration of family needs; establishing viable quality standards for outcome-driven evaluation; and highlighting standardized monitoring mechanisms in both institutional and home LTC settings.
