Assessing the long-term care (LTC) service needs of older adults based on time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC)–a cross-sectional survey in central China
Older adults have a high need for LTC services, especially those provided by caregivers, indicating an urgent need to expand and improve LTC systems. The LTC service time needed is associated with multilevel factors encompassing socio-demographic, functional, and psychological aspects. This study offers preliminary insights into the needs, demands, and costs of LTC services for older adults and provides essential guidance for future planning and financing of LTC resources.
