As societies age, pressure grows to ensure the provision and affordability of long-term care (LTC) services for all people in need. Around 1.5% of GDP is allocated to long-term care across OECD countries. Governments and social insurance cover the bulk of the costs of long-term care provision. And the majority of spending on long-term care is in residential facilities.
