There is no concrete community care policy in Taiwan so far. Multi-professions have been involved in elderly community people service now, and social welfare and health care are especially the cases. In order to understand their roles, functions, the extent of integration and limitations in the elderly community care system, two pilot schemes -- Wanhua community care scheme and Wenshan community care scheme are included in the study .The focus is on the process and experience of these two schemes, and via interviewing with ten persons involved in community care services, qualitative data was gathered.The conclusions found from this study are as follow:First of all, in the community care experimental period, there was only social welfare department involved, and it was done by the collaboration of private organizations and the local government. The social worker in the schemes not only provided services, but also played as a case/care manager. In this stage, the health care department was not involved in the experimental schemes positively. With the increasing numbers of elder people recently, the long-term care has been emphasized. The professionals of health welfare have been involved in providing service, and gradually gain its importance in community care service. In the experience of community care program carried out in Taipei, health care department also played the role of a case/care manager as the social welfare department. The integration of the social welfare and health care services has become an issue concerned. |
