Although some studies have been conducted on the welfare of older adults in Taiwan, these were only limited to general situations of social welfare, such as explaining the nature of long-term care and the predicting trends of long-term care needs and demands in Taiwan (Tseng, 2006). A good policy dedicated to the welfare of older adults should improve their quality of life (National Board of Health and Welfare, 2007). Thus, the long-term care system must be adjusted in a timely manner; strategies and policy direction should be reviewed and redirected in conjunction with the understanding of different needs at different time points (Wu, 2005). More importantly, from the viewpoints of older adults, welfare policies could promote and improve their interpersonal relationships (Smith, 1999). Therefore, in addition tothe experts’ point of view, the needs of older adults and consideration of their individual differences are essential in social welfare policy making and social welfare service program design.
