“…16 Almost all OECD countries had adopted policies over the past few decades to promote the development of home and community-based LTC for the elderly, encourage direct supply expansion, establish regulatory measures and provide financial incentives. 8 In addition, the COVID-19 crisis highlights the safety of home and community-based LTC, 17 leading to a further increased need. 18 After a long period of development, home and community-based LTC for the elderly still faces many problems.…”

The purpose of this paper is to identify the issues that limited the supply of home and community-based Long-Term-Care (LTC) for the elderly, offer essential insights into the sustainable development of China's LTC.Design/methodology/approach: A content analysis of news coverage on 12 major portals in China has been conducted to identify the issues. Findings:The results demonstrate that there are 12 significant problems in the supply of home and communitybased LTC for the elderly. For the service providers, the lack of qualified LTC professionals, limited service types/ low service quality and unrealised integrated care, lack of steady profit patterns are the three major problems. The deficiencies of the LTC system and the lack of incentive policies and legislation for private investors' participation are the two major problems faced by the government. The public is confronted with a shortage of home and community support resources and unable to adapt to a change due to their mindsets. Practical implications:The issues identified in this paper can not only provide some opportunities to various stakeholders in this area but also offer insights into the sustainable development of China's LTC.

High mortality rate for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been reported worldwide in nursing home residents, and the global concern about the safety of patients and professionals in these institutions is relevant. A large part of post-acute and chronic patient care in Brazil is performed at home through Home Care (HC) services. The objectives of this chapter are to describe the main measures that can be implemented in patient homes in order to keep professionals, patients, and family members safe and to analyze the safety of choosing the home as the place of care during a pandemic, especially in contrast to the results observed in long-term care facilities. COVID-19 infection data among home care patients, obtained after a year of severe epidemic in Brazil, demonstrate that home care is safe and is associated with a low incidence and low lethality related to the new coronavirus.
