Abstract

Since 2018, long-term care system has been launched in Russia to provide social, medical and rehabilitation (habilitation) services to elderly and disabled people in need of care. Long-term care system supports an opportunity to elderly and disabled people to self-serve, move independently, and provide basic life needs. It is planned that by the end of 2023, the long-term care system will be launched in all regions of Russia. The article analyzes the main problems that the state and regions have encountered in implementing the system, including issues of financing services, processes and criteria for determining the level of need, the time of care and the list of services for each recipient of services, etc. The article presents a comparison of the system of long-term care in Russia and in foreign countries, and also developed proposals to overcome problems mentioned above in Russia, taking into account international experience.
