This provision indicator measures the total number of long-term care recipients in institutions as outlined in OECD 2019. Long-term care recipients in institutions, are people receiving formal (paid) long-term care in institutions (other than hospitals). These services can be publicly or privately financed. Long-term care institutions refer to nursing and residential care facilities which provide accommodation and long-term care as a package. They include specially designed institutions or hospital-like settings where the predominant service component is long-term care and the services are provided for people with moderate to severe functional restrictions.
