Abstract: Since 2018, long-term care system has been launched in Russia to provide social, medical and rehabilitation (habilitation) services to elderly and disabled people in need of care. Long-term care system supports an opportunity to elderly and disabled people to self-serve, move independently, and provide basic life needs. It is planned that by the end of 2023, the long-term care system will be launched in all regions of Russia.
