[Challenges of Community Care for the Elderly in Taiwan. A study on the Collaboration of Christian Institutions and Church Communities with Government Agencies]
In recent years, in Taiwan’s rapidly aging society, the state has created a community care system that takes into consideration the aging in Taiwan and especially active and self-determined aging, as proposed by the EU and WHO. Church organizations have been actively engaged in this care system, emphasizing community diaconia and spiritual care. The author analyzes the collaboration of diaconal agencies, church communities, and public institutions, and explores the strengths and weaknesses of community diaconia in care of the elderly. The experience of caring for the elderly in Taiwan is a helpful stimulus for the care work of the diaconia in Germany.
