Abstract
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, homes for the aged have
seriously suffered from the fifth wave of COVID-19. Although the problem of an
ageing population emerges as a global issue, the relevant studies related to homes for
the aged are under-researched. In this chapter, we explored the weaknesses of homes
for the aged and weak government policies that have posed threats to homes for the
aged to deal with numerous confirmed cases of COVID-19. In response, we propose
possible ways for homes for the aged to deal with the challenges arising from the
COVID-19 pandemic. It may give useful guidelines for the policymakers, researchers,
homes for the aged, and the local community to design and implement anti-epidemic
measures in the forthcoming years.
Keywords: Ageing population, Homes for the aged, The fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
