As the global population ages, the demand for long-term care (LTC) for older adults is increasing rapidly, presenting significant challenges for health and social care systems worldwide.

This book examines existing care systems for older adults worldwide, focusing on the unique challenges faced and potential solutions and policy reforms which could be implemented, particularly with regard to improving or maintaining their physical and mental health. This text offers a comprehensive exploration of diverse LTC approaches across 15 countries and regions. This essential resource examines critical issues such as workforce shortages, funding mechanisms, governance structures, and the integration of health and social care. Highlighting innovative solutions like community-based care models, technological advancements, and rights-based frameworks, the book provides evidence-based recommendations for designing sustainable, equitable, and person-centred care systems.

With contributions from leading experts, this handbook is an invaluable guide for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers navigating the complexities of long-term care in an ageing world. This is an unmissable resource for those who are interested in addressing the multifaceted crises facing care for older people worldwide.
