NHSO Long-Term Care Fund — Beneficiary Coverage
~100,000–150,000 elderly beneficiaries
The National Health Security Office's Long-Term Care Fund (LTC Fund), established under the National Health Security Act, had enrolled approximately 100,000–150,000 low-income dependent elderly persons as of 2023 across participating local administrative organizations (LAOs). The program provides an annual care budget per beneficiary routed through municipal care managers to contracted home-visit nurses, community care workers, and short-term residential facilities. NHSO Annual Reports disclose beneficiary counts, budget per capita, and LAO participation rates. The LTC Fund is substantially underfunded relative to actuarial need and does not cover high-dependency dementia care or assisted-living residential costs — segments that fall to private pay or family support.
