This research paper focuses on the policy implementation of the Taiwan Hualien County Government's Long-Term Care Ten-Year Plan 2.0 (referred to as the Long-Term Care 2.0 )and explores the implementation of the Long-Term Care 2.0 Policy by the Hualien County Government of Taiwan through literature analysis methods, policy implementation theory, in-depth interviews with commissioned institutions, and target groups. This study is the use of policy implementation theory planning factors of the structure, divided into policy, policy clarity, policy resources, organization and manpower, the subject group's compliance and "environmental factors in the ground" and other five factors, the study summarized and analyzed, after the study found the following six issues, respectively: 1. The Long-Term Care 2.0 policy has a high coverage rate of services, but the public is less aware of the Long-Term Care 2.0 policy. 2. The long working hours of care workers, but the low salaries, the lack of relatively due remuneration, and the high level of separation of care attendants also result in inadequate manpower and chronic manpower shortages. 3. In Hualien County, Taiwan, there are only 3 day care centres which cannot meet the service needs of the target groups. 4. The southern part of Hualien County, Taiwan, is a remote township area where few home-based service agencies are established, resulting in an unetributed distribution of policy resources. 5. The manpower for the delivery of meals is not sufficient, and the central government unit in Taiwan has only one additional staff member, and the social worker is assigned to the government service in Hualien County, Taiwan, resulting in the social worker being unable to take into account the work of his social worker and the work business of delivering meals; 6. The high turnover rate and low salary of care attendants in the entrusted institutions in Hualien County are the result of a shortage of care service staff and a chronic shortage of manpower. The recommendations of this study can be improved from "the advocacy of the Long-Term Care 2.0 policy", "the need to pay attention to the use of Long-Term Care 2.0 in remote mountain towns and villages" and "the use of the capacity of non-profit organizations to improve the predicament of understaffing", so as to increase the public's satisfaction with the government's governance. |
