Abstract:
Purpose – Elder mistreatment is a neglected issue in the Macao elder policy. The purpose of this paper is to review the current elder policy as well as legislation on the prevention and management of elder mistreatment in Macao and providing practical suggestions to improve the situation. Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews government documents and statistics on elder services and policy of Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) government. The authors interviewed frontline social workers for the phenomenon of elder mistreatment in Macao as well as the issues and problems in handling abuse cases. Findings – This paper argues that the MSAR government has paid attention to financial aid to its senior citizens. In terms of elder care services, the government outsources various elder care services to nonprofit organizations and other private bodies. However, this public-private partnership approach cannot adequately coordinate service providers to prevent and manage elder mistreatment. Furthermore, Macao-mainland integration has encouraged more and more elders to stay in mainland China. Stronger government initiatives are needed to collaborate with Macao society, as well as mainland authorities, regarding the mistreatment of Macao elders. Research limitations/implications – It is only a review on elder mistreatment in Macao. Further research is needed to survey the extent of mistreatment of elder people in Macao (quantitatively and qualitatively). Besides, more effort has to be paid on the problem and difficulty of frontline social workers handling elder mistreatment. Practical implications – This paper suggests practical methods and measures to Macao government to manage and prevent elder mistreatment which is a neglect issue in the society. Social implications – There are very few studies on elder mistreatment in Macao. This paper aims to draw the attention of Macao government and public as well as academic to the issue. Originality/value – Many scholars and academics studying Macao elders have been directing to the government focus and keep their eye on the pension system and social security for the elderly. Very limited studies have examined the elder care and mistreatment. This paper is a breakthrough of Macao elder studies that serving as a pilot study of elder mistreatment and hence shifting public attention to the intangible need of Macao elder.

Abstract:
This article explores the intersection between discourses with multiple meanings that relate to the cultural construction of elder identities in South Korea. The authors explore the experiences of elder patients at a free clinic to consider how government policy, attitudes among biomedical professionals, and elders themselves come into contact and influence the experiences of older Koreans within the national health care system. The study is ethnographic, using interview data to examine how the identities of elder Koreans are being shifted from “weak and in need of care” to “potentially problematic consumer” and how governmental policies both stimulate and respond to that shift. By focusing on the situational status of the elderly, this article is intended to represent the voices of some elderly, voices that can be submerged within the process of decision making related to public policy.

Abstract:
A central feature of Japan’s approach to community-based care of the elderly, including long-term home health care, is the emphasis on providing bath facilities. For mobile elders, senior centers typically provide a public bathing facility in which people can enjoy a relaxing soak along with friends who also visit the centers. In terms of in-home long-term care, visiting bath services are provided to assist family care providers with the difficult task of bathing a frail or disabled elder—a task made more problematic as a result of the Japanese style of bathing. I argue that the bath, as social service, is a culturally shaped solution to a specific problem of elder care that arises in the Japanese context as a result of the importance of the bath in everyday life for Japanese. While the services may be considered specific to Japan, some aspects of bathing services, particularly the mobile bath service, may also have applicability in the United States.

Abstract:
Frail elderly and their caregivers are virtually invisible in representational circuits (film, the novel, photography, television, the web, newspapers), with the elderly habitually dismissed as non-citizens and their caregivers often literally not citizens of the nation-states in which they work. How can we bring what is a scandalous public secret of everyday life into visibility as care of the elderly increasingly becomes a matter of the global market in our neoliberal economies? This essay explores the representation of caregivers and elders, together, in photographs, the memoir, news and feature stories, and documentary film, suggesting that one of the most effective modes of advocating for changes in public policy is engaging people’s understanding through stories and images. In this study, I consider stories of assisted living, which involve elders, who are white, and paid caregivers, who are people of color, gendered female, and part of global care chains; these stories include American writer Ted Conover’s New York Times Magazine feature story ’’The Last Best Friends Money Can Buy’’ (1997) and Israeli Tomer Heymann’s documentary film ’’Paper Dolls’’ (2006). Of key importance is a feeling of kinship as new forms of the family take shape.

Abstract:
Along with accelerated “elderly-oriented” process, solving all kinds of social problems brought by elderly-oriented population has become our nation’s urgent task. At present, home-based care plays a significant role in old-age security model in China. Besides, the key step to promote harmonious development of society is to build a living environment suitable for the elders. In recent decades, we have built large numbers of residential communities. Environment quality of outer public space of some buildings is not suitable for elders to live. This thesis adopted some research methods such as document analysis, field research and questionnaire survey. The objects of thesis are residential communities built during 1910s to 1920s in Dujiangyan City. This thesis analysed the satisfaction and demands of elders for the communities’ outer space environment and communities’ public space environment. After considering elders’ characteristics and demands, this thesis put forward plans for elderly-oriented reconstruction of outer public space in small town communities from five aspects: community entrance and exit space, activity space, road system, lighting and marking system and public green, effectively optimized and improved the environment quality of outer public space of the communities.

Abstract:
This participatory action research aimed to develop a database system for the care of elders in the community, Pak Poon sub-district, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. The key informants were composed of public health officers, community leaders, representatives of the Local Administrative Organization, elders and their families, and lecturers and nursing students of Walailak University. Research instruments included interview questions, an elderly health assessment form, a developed elderly health database system as an experimental tool, and a usability evaluation form. Data collection was conducted by survey, interview, group discussion, and observation. Quantitative data analysis was conducted by frequency distribution and percentage; the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed with experts for Cronbach’s alpha. The qualitative data revealed content analysis. The results show that the database system consists of, elder health assessment, comprising general information, prior illness and treatment, functionality, mental health risk, risk for fall, and environment, the required features to support achievement of the goal for well-being, consistent with their life style, social capital, and local wisdom. In addition, the database could be used to reduce early risk factors to protect from chronic illness, injury, and decline in physical and psychosocial function. The reporting requirement comprised frequency distribution in terms of capital, problems, and need. Perception of the system and its effectiveness were evaluated using a questionnaire after participants had had an approximately one month period of experience of using the system. The responses to the questionnaire were positive about the system features and system process. From executives and health officers and elders using the database system, it has been improved, based on feedback continuum.

Abstract:
Elder abuse is a serious social and public health issue with estimates of approximately five and a half million annual reports in the U.S. Identifying and treating abused elders is difficult due to unstandardized protocols and identification guidelines as well as a lack of public awareness to the problem. An interdisciplinary approach in collaboration with Adult Protective Services investigation is paramount to the assessment and care for mistreated elders. Educating healthcare professionals, other professions, and the lay public through social media, local news, and community education can increase awareness to this often overlooked problem.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) on the private transfer behavior of the non-co-resident adult children to their elderly parents in rural China, and hence address the income redistribution effectiveness of public program for the elderly in rural China. Design/methodology/approach Pooled data from two waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and the combination of regression discontinuity design and difference in difference method are used to perform the analysis. Findings No evidence is found that pension payment from NRPS program does significantly crowd out the economic support from the adult children to their elder parents. The heterogeneous effects at different income percentile indicate that pension payment significantly increases the probability of receiving gross transfers and likelihood of the net transfer being positive for those elderly individuals with low income; in particular, the distinctive “family binding” arrangement may dramatically contribute to increasing the probability of receiving private transfers for the pension recipients. Originality/value The empirical findings would have far-reaching implications for the efficacy of public transfer or re-distributive programs such as NRPS; for the rural elderly, in particular, the unique “family binding” mechanism under the NRPS program may have positive welfare effects on the intended beneficiaries. Furthermore, an understanding of the inter-linkage between informal arrangements of elderly support and social re-distributive program provides further insight into the design of social security systems targeted to the vulnerable group in developing countries.

Abstract:
Under början av 1990-talet infördes reformer som än idag påverkar svensk äldreomsorg. Dessa reformer föranledde till stora förändringar i den offentliga sektorn, där privatiseringen av offentliga tjänster är en del av resultatet. I nästan tre decennier har resultatet av dessa reformer varit väl omdiskuterade i både politiska sammanhang och samhället, där äldreomsorgen är en av de stora reformerna som diskuteras. Föreliggande studie jämför och analyserar tillförlitlig kvalitet på given vård i äldreomsorgen mellan den offentliga och privata sektorn eftersom den privata sektorn ibland har ett vinstintresse, vilket den offentliga sektorn saknar. Syftet med studien var att jämföra och analysera hur chefer uppfattar möjligheten att ge tillförlitlig kvalitet i verksamheten. Arbetet i den dagliga verksamheten utförs av chefer och medarbetare tillsammans, vilket föranledde att det i studien intervjuades åtta chefer på äldreboenden i Sverige, där fyra chefer från respektive offentlig eller privat given äldrevård utgjorde studiens empiriska material. Intervjufrågorna var konstruerade utifrån studiens analysmodell som bygger på karaktäristiska egenskaper för organisationer med hög tillförlitlighet. Föreliggande studie visar att cheferna i både den offentliga och privata sektorn uppfattar, utifrån de förutsättningar som finns i äldreomsorgen, möjlighet till tillförlitlig kvalitet. Dock visar resultatet av studien att det finns brister i den tillförlitliga kvaliteten. Studiens vetenskapliga bidrag visar på kvaliteten utifrån de förutsättningar som chefer har att ge en tillförlitlig kvalitet i äldreomsorgen.
During the start of the 1990´s reforms were introduced that to this day affect Swedish elderly care. These reforms brought forth large alterations in the public sector where in multiple, previously public services were privatized. In the following three decades have these reforms been regularly discussed in both political contexts and society, where the reforms of the elderly care have been prominent. This study compares and analyze reliable quality of administrated care of elderly between the public and private sectors, because of the private sector´s common profit orientation, which the public sector does not have. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze how management perceive the opportunity to give reliable quality within the organization. Operational labor is performed by both management and coworkers together which resulted in eight managers within the Swedish elderly care being interviewed wherein four worked in the public sector and private, respectively. These interviews became the empirical basis for the study. The interview questions were constructed using the studies analytical model which is based on characteristic properties within organization with high reliability. The result of this study shows that managers in both the public and private sectors perceive the possibility of reliable quality based on the conditions that exist in elderly care. However, the results of the study show that there are shortcomings in the reliable quality. The study´s scientific contribution indicates the quality based on the conditions that managers have to provide a reliable quality in elderly care.

Abstract:
Today, the rapid growth of aged populations is a pressing issue across the globe. In China, longevity risk is also associated with complex social issues consequent on birth control policies in the 1980s, raising the demand for elder care services in recent years. However, the relatively high cost of elder care services creates financial burdens not only for elderly people themselves, but also for their children. While increasing retirement incomes, the Chinese Government has also promoted new forms of social elder care, introducing market mechanisms into public nursing institutions, to increase financial resources for elder care provision. This thesis analyses these new funding models for elder care, examining supply and demand side factors that shape their effectiveness within a theoretical framework of New Public Management (NPM) and social investment. First, case studies are used to compare funding policies in four types of nursing institutions in and around Wuhan, Hubei Province, to evaluate different Public and Private Partnership (PPP) funding arrangements and their consequent influence on the performance of the nursing institutions. Second, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed to calculate and compare the elder care services index in urban and rural areas. The outcomes provide insightful and useful guidance to identify probable problems within the elder care funding system. The results reveal that investment is more efficient when dedicated to financing the incomes of the elderly rather than to the construction of elder care institutions. The conclusions propose the feasibility of public long-term care insurance (LTCI) in China, as an appropriate approach to improve elderly people’s retirement income and thus their ability to purchase long-term care (LTC) in the future.

Abstract:
In the last 20 years the UK’s elderly residential care system has become progressively more privatised with an increase in the number of for-profit organisations delivering these services. This study is a participant observation of care work in one privatised elderly residential care home (‘Meadowvale’), owned and operated by a large provider of such services (‘Moonlight Care’). It provides a rich ethnographic depiction of life at Meadowvale both from the point of view of the workers and the residents. The thesis frames these ethnographic findings against pro-privatisation discourses which argue that serious raises in standards of service delivery are to be made from instilling profit motives within social care systems. I argue that there were a series of contradictions which prevented Moonlight Care from both achieving convincing levels of profitability whilst simultaneously improving the nature of elderly residential care. The fact that the revenue received was largely determined by the local government and the distinctive nature of care work inhibited the company from transforming the service for the better. Regulation, although crucial to ensuring that a base level of service quality was ensured, also represented a constraint on any possible restructuring. Greater gains could therefore only be increased through slashing the costs of production and enlarging the economies of scale. Both processes defined the business plan of Moonlight Care. This thesis, therefore, argues that privatisation was incongruent with quality of elderly residential care at Meadowvale. Privatisation led to a form of ‘parasitic’ production where efficiency gains and innovation were absent but business objectives were met by lowering the standards of living for the people who use the service and the wages and working conditions of the people who deliver the service. Cost rationalisation took an extreme form at Meadowvale with repercussions for both care workers and residents. Primarily the ethnographic data looks at the everyday effects of delivering care in this under-resourced labour process. The tasks of care were highly routinised within a system of bureaucratic control which emphasised the physical, “dirty” tasks of care and necessitated that all tasks were recorded. However, the numbers of workers always fell short of the workload leading to widespread falsification in the records. The high intensity of work at Meadowvale embedded various forms of mistreatment, abuse and neglect within the working routine. The system of bureaucratic control also emphasised the physical, ‘dirty’ tasks of care work, leaving little time for relational work. This instituted a particular form of emotional work which emphasised suppressing emotions in order to move from one task to the next as quickly as possible. This was considered problematic for many of the workers who felt that care work should be underpinned by emotional warmth and intimacy. The organisation of care labour at Meadowvale also ran contrary to the regulatory policy discourse which constructed quality care as personalised to each recipient, supporting lifestyle choice and personal preferences. This ‘personalisation agenda’ was a major component of the regulatory framework, but was impossible to implement under the strict routine which permeated care home existence. The responsibility of implementing the personalisation agenda was also constructed in training courses and official documentation as located with the workers, rather than with organisational structures, regimes or motives. This suggests an individualising process in which regulatory authorities and care companies attempt pass the responsibility and risk associated with providing these poorly resourced care services on to each individual worker. The thesis also explores the implications of the system of production in structuring the inequality experienced both by care workers and residents. The process of accumulation at Meadowvale could be described as ‘parasitic’ because profit arises from reducing the cost of production. Two major strategies for reducing expenditure that Moonlight Care utilised was securing a cheap, highly exploitable workforce and reducing the costs associated with care. The search for a cheap workforce has led to the employment of large numbers of migrant workers. Many of the migrant workers at Meadowvale were unable to find alternative employment because their visa’s either tied them to working in the social care sector, or in some cases, specifically to Moonlight Care. I also argue that immigration status supported higher levels of exploitation by denying welfare rights to migrant workers and their families. At the same time the residents at Meadowvale were subject to a system of care which often failed to cater for their needs. Not only were there were few luxuries associated with life at Meadowvale even basic care rights were frequently denied to the residents. During my time at Meadowvale the conditions for both staff and workers seemed to be deteriorating reflecting the endemic problems in the industry. The demand for cheap highly exploitable forms of labour and the denial of basic care rights for the residents can be theorised as interrelated processes connecting to the current system of residential care provision. At Meadowvale, the search for profit did not, as the proponents of privatisation suggest, lead to a system defined by choice, efficiency or quality.

Abstract:
This work is a study of the day to day experiences of older people in receipt of in-home care, the experiences of their family carers, and of their careworkers, resulting in a hypothesis about the structure of the lifecycle towards the end of life, and a consideration of both structured transition and individual transitions to and within this life stage. It has taken off from Laslett�s (1989,1996) seminal work on age divisions, into Third and Fourth Ages. Through an initial examination of secondary sources, I have hypothesized that the older people in this care bracket are in fact in a new life stage, between that of the independent Third Age and the dependent Fourth Age. I call this life stage the stage of 'Supported Independence'. Further references to the secondary sources, and references to the data, have supported this hypothesis, and have shown that there is a structured transition from the stage of independence to that of supported independence. The value of building such a life stage lies in the ability we then have to emphasize the situation of in-home care, bringing to prominence the experiences of the three stakeholders in this care environment. I have used the rites of passage concept to make known the issues involving the move from independence to dependence and those issues predominant in receiving in-home care, in being the carer at such a time, and in being the careworker within the invisibility of home. This has shown a formalized separation from the independent identity, and a prolonged stage of liminality because of an often uncertain form of service delivery. In this liminal stage also are revealed the emotions of living at home with a disability and with care, the improvisatory practices, the passivity and the assertiveness of this time of ageing. By applying this concept also to the family carers, I show the movement of families into and through the caring role, the joy of caring and the difficulties of taking responsibility without authority. I have shown carers� own improvisatory practices, and their determination to maintain the care recipient at home as long as possible. For the careworker, the rites of passage concept shows how she (and the careworker participants in this study are all women), can act to either maintain the liminal position of the recipients or assist in their reconnection to greater autonomy. Exploring the careworkers� own positions by means of the rites of passage concept highlights their inter-structural position between the public and private sectors, and highlights too, the care industry�s position, between that of a time managed industry and a recipient-directed industry. Whether this can be regarded as liminal depends on the philosophies of care adopted by the industry. In summary, the study examines the significance of the place of care, challenging the dominant ideology that home is best, and putting forward for consideration principles of care for other models of service delivery.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter reports on the third co-creation project described in this book. The project was managed by two departments of Zaragoza city council: the Department of Elderly Care and the Technical Office of Participation, Transparency and Open Government. Several activities aiming to improve the lives older citizens have been conducted by the city administration since Zaragoza joined the Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities. In a consultation process, older citizens had expressed a demand for safe and well-equipped outdoor spaces. Thus, the broad problem focus of this co-creation project was on the improvement of an age-friendly city infrastructure. The co-creation project covered six walks in three different districts. In each district, groups of six to eight older residents defined two relevant routes and collected information (problems and improvements) about them. The data was integrated in a collaborative digital map provided by the city’s Technical Office. The result of the project is an enhanced map service, which allows (older) citizens to report problems in the public (road) infrastructure and/or propose improvements. Their suggestions for improvements enter a list of citizen proposals for a participatory budgeting process.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Dementia is a collective term for several diseases that affect memory, other cognitive abilities, and behavior. These diseases can seriously interfere with people’s ability of daily living. This is not a normal phenomenon of aging. With the increasing prevalence of dementia in the elderly, the importance of dementia as a comorbidity of hypertension is increasing. However, several questions regarding the link between hypertension and dementia remain unresolved. This study aimed to determine Orientation-Memory-Concentration-Test (OMCT) can be used to assess cognitive function in the elderly as an early step in the early detection of dementia. Subjects and Method: This was a comparative study using a case-control design. The study was conducted in Jetis Sub-District, Yogyakarta from September 2019 to June 2020. A total sample of 110 of elderly was divided into two groups 42 elderly (case), and 68 elderly (control) selected by consecutive sampling using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock-Drawing Test (CDT) and Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test (OMCT). The dependent variables were the sensitivity and specificity level of the OMCT instrument while the scores of the MMSE. The independent variable was CDT instruments. The collected data will then be processed by diagnostic analysis followed by analysis of ROC and Youden’s index to determine the optimal cut off. Respondents are categorized as having impaired cognitive function if the MMSE (cut off ≤ 24) or CDT (cut off <18) shows a positive result. Results: 110 elderlies were involved. A total of 42 elderlies were included in the case population, and 68 elderlies were included in the control population. In the total OMCT population (cut off> 11) it has a sensitivity (29%) and specificity (97%) to the combination of MMSE and CDT. In populations with hypertension OMCT (cut off> 2.5) has sensitivity (68%) with specificity (46%). In a population without hypertension OMCT (cut off> 7) has a sensitivity (55%) and specificity (90%) to the combination of MMSE and CDT. Conclusion: OMCT can be used as a screening tool for cognitive dysfunction in older people with hypertension because of its short duration, ease of use, and can be used in patients with visual impairments.

Dependent elderly on caregivers who cause a burden affecting the quality of life of caregivers. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the burden and quality of life among dependent elderly caregivers. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Pakuncen Village, Yogyakarta. The study subjects were 30 informal caregivers who cared for their family member aged ≥ 60 years with moderate dependence. Instruments used to screen dependent elderly included Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrument Activities of Daily Living (IADL) to measure level of independence, MMSE and AD-8 to assess cognitive function of elderly. Caregivers aged ≥ 60 years underwent MMSE and those with scores <24 was excluded. Caregivers’ burden ware measured using The Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and Caregiver Reaction Assessment (CRA). Measurements of quality of life among caregivers was conducted by WHOQOL-BREF. Data were analyzed using Spearman-rank correlation. Results: Out of 30 caregivers, 24 were female and 6 were male with an average age of 49 years. Most respondents had light to moderate burden (Mean= 34.27; SD=18.94). Caregivers’ quality of life were low (<60) in psychological (Mean= 58.17; SD= 12.31), social relation (Mean= 59.77; SD= 9.04), and the environment domains (Mean= 51.90; SD= 10.00). Caregivers’ quality of life was high (≥60) in physical health domain (Mean= 63.30; SD=12.83). There were negative correlations between caregiver burden (ZBI and CRA) and the quality life of caregivers (WHOQOL-BREF). Conclusion: In Yogyakarta, the burden of caregivers (ZBI and CRA) and the quality of caregivers’ lives (WHOQOL-BREF) are negatively correlated.

Abstract:
Turkish health care system is going on health care transitions nowadays. Fundamental role of government in providing, financing and managing public services, including health care are changed. Health care marketers insist that competition and aggressive management will raise health care productivity. Health economist suggests that health is a public service and has a value. The Health Care System in Turkey is financed by public funds, compulsory insurance premiums and delivered (90%) by The Ministry of Health (MoH) that also manages the system. For the sustainability of universal access to health care special insurance programs according the rule of political economy should be built. Poor and severe ill people who cannot work and elderly may not get access to public medical insurance. So, for contributing to the nationwide public health care system rich people could give some extra insurance premium and obtain additional private insurance as well. Referral chain might be established in the country in between primary, secondary and tertiary care.

Abstract:
The population in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is aging rapidly, as the proportion of people aged 60 and above is expected to increase to 35% by 2050. While aging poses economic challenges, if managed well, it can generate new employment opportunities with the emergence of new professions related to elderly care. However, capturing these benefits require labor market reforms, higher public spending to finance long-term care and pensions, and policy support. This note presents policy recommendations to address identified socioeconomic implications of rapid population aging in the PRC, focusing on labor market changes, effective long-term elderly care, and measures to address the increasing old-age dependency ratio.
