According to Yunlin County Councilor Chang Ting-chi, the long-term care coverage rate in Yunlin County is only 92.11%, indicating significant room for improvement. While Yunlin County's coverage rate exceeds the national average of 80.19%, it lags behind by over 8 percentage points compared to other 6 aging counties. Chang points out that Yunlin, with a large elderly population, should aim to enhance its coverage rate, especially when neighboring counties like Nantou, Chiayi, and Ilan have achieved rates above 100%. Chang stresses the need for Yunlin to strive for a coverage rate surpassing 100% by the end of the year to provide the best care for the elderly residents.
