title: [Care of Korean elderly in need of care : Tendency to strengthen the role of integrated care for the elderly in communities].
abstract: Since the introduction of long-term nursing care insurance in 2008, the Korean elderly in need of care are entitled to residential care or home based care services, as in the other welfare states. This article initially introduces the Korean nursing care insurance (PfV) for the elderly to give an overview of the healthcare system. Subsequently, the latest model project "Community based comprehensive care system" is introduced. The confusing care and social services should be networked and provided in a manner customized to the needs of the elderly, so that home based care before residential care can be realized.
