This study investigates relationships among financing, planning, and insurance under the long-term care (LTC) system. We examine the allocation of medical resources that are concerned with success or failure of the LTC system. Our conclusions are fivefold: 1. “The spirit of user payment,” together with the pension system, must be taken into consideration as policy is planned. 2. The government should encourage commercial LTC insurance. 3. Using Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau-b, we find that the ratio of occupied beds, the value of health care expenditures, the number of beds, the population 65 years old, the population size, the number of hospitals, and the number of physicians exhibt a positive relationship with the number of LTC institutions. 4. Areas removed from the main island of Taiwan such as Peng-Hu, Jin-Men, and Lian-Jiang have fewer LTC resources, and similarly the middle and southern areas of Taiwan have fewer than in the north. 5. The expenditure of health care, the number of physicians, and the population size have a positive impact on the mumber of LTC insitutions.
