This indicator specifies what type of benefit the recipients were awarded. Long-term care (health) comprises a range of medical and personal care services intended to alleviate pain and suffering and to reduce or manage deterioration in health status in patients with a degree of long-term dependency.The three different types of benefits addressed here and for which data were collected are the following: Residential Care Benefit, Non-Residential Care Benefit, and Cash Benefit. Residential care is specified as a public scheme in which accommodation in an institution over an extended period covers health and social care (e.g., nursing homes for older people). Non-residential benefits include health or social care benefits offered either at home or in welfare and social centres. This comprises, for example, support and nursing provided at one’s home and care services in community centres that do not rely on the continued provision of a room and accommodation, such as in residential care, but rather solutions for a short and defined stay, like visits to adult day centres for treatments or during caregiver respite. Lastly, cash benefits include any public cash transfer to persons in need of care for themselves or their families.
