Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the elderly long-term care insurance system recognition level on effectiveness recognition in Korea. The study focused specifically on the comparison of middle age and old age-related study subjects.

Method/Statistical Analysis: The subjects of this study were middle age people between the ages of 45 and 64 years old, and the old age people were over the age of 65 who were residing in Chungnam, Korea. From July to August 2018, questionnaires were distributed and collected from general residents, and finally, 400 sets of data from 200 middle age and 200 old age data were obtained.

Findings: First, the perception of necessity and necessity of elderly long-term care insurance system was considered positive, and the middle age generation was more positive than the old age generation. In addition, the middle age generation had a high level of recognition that if they needed care, they would utilize care facilities, but would utilize home care services when the spouse also required additional care. Second, elderly care facilities and home service fees were generally recognized and considered as expensive, but such a cost burden did not adversely affect the effectiveness recognition of the elderly long-term care insurance system.

Improvements/Applications: In order to solve the problems in the new elderly care facilities construction process, it is necessary to exchange opinions and converge with each other through constant communication and coordination with the residents, and in addition, business entities should first approach local residents with authenticity regarding their noted care issues and concerns.
