Aging in place is a core component of the policy on aging in Israel. This was well expressed in the Long-Term Care Insurance law enacted in 1986 and implemented in 1988. Under the law, disabled persons can receive in-kind home- and community-based services to enable frail older adults to age in place and to complement or supplement the care provided primarily by family caregivers who are legally responsible for caregiving of their elderly family members. This article presents the main principles of the law and reviews the amendments that this law has undergone during the past 22 years. Finally, some core issues and dilemmas are discussed.
就地老化是以色列老龄化政策的核心组成部分。这在 1986 年颁布并于 1988 年实施的长期护理保险法中得到了很好的体现。根据该法律，残疾人士可以获得实物形式的家庭和社区服务，使体弱的老年人能够就地老化，并补充或补充主要由法律上负责照顾老年家庭成员的家庭护理人员提供的护理。本文介绍了该法律的主要原则，并回顾了该法律在过去 22 年中所经历的修订。最后，讨论了一些核心问题和困境。
