| Annotation | The provision and financing of long-term care (LTC) in Spain has only recently become a policy concern. However, welfare policy reforms show the need to anticipate the effects of a transition for the traditional "family-based" model of care (78% of Spanish older people who are disabled) are treated by their own families to a modern "community-based" model. This paper examines the current models of providing and funding long-term care in Spain, and on the basis of the empirical evidence, evaluates the prospects for the future organisation and funding of the system.
