Abstract
This study explores the challenges and strategies of home care models for older adults with disabilities in China. The following challenges have been identified: limited policy support and lack of effective connections between different systems, pressure on caregivers, underestimation of caregivers’ value, and inadequate service capacity of community institutions. Evidence-based suggestions to promote the development of home care models for older adults with disabilities include establishing a family caregiver compensation mechanism and psychological support system, strengthening community health centers from quantity to service capabilities for aging-in-place services, and promoting the integration of pension, disability, and health insurance systems.
