Reviews Israel's Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) with a view to identifying possible directions for reform and lessons for other countries considering the introduction of a similar social insurance scheme. Considers the law's effects in terms of the size and characteristics of the beneficiary population, the coverage of the scheme, its financial standing, the rate of institutionalisation of the elderly, the caregiving burden, the service delivery system, and the overall scope of long-term care services for the aged.
