Gradual Relaxation of Barthel Scale Evaluation Requirements Divides Public Opinion in Taiwan

Reported 12 months ago

Taiwanese legislators proposed to relax the requirement for professional evaluation by medical institutions for caregivers of individuals aged 80 and above (using the Barthel scale) to apply for foreign caregivers. While the Family Caregiver Alliance supports this gradual opening to reduce impact, clinical physicians argue against strict limitations, emphasizing the need for multiple channels for applying for family caregiver migrant workers. Different organizations and experts offer various suggestions, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach to foreign caregiver salary systems and subsidies for severe or economically disadvantaged families.
