The Community Care Voucher Scheme for the Elderly aims to enable eligible older people aged 65 and over to purchase social or elderly services that meet their needs.
A recent study explored carers' views of existing financial support, looking at the Community Care Voucher Scheme for the Elderly and analysing its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

 Reducing the financial burden on carers
Carers can use vouchers to purchase services in the community, reducing expenditure and financial burden.

 Flexible arrangement of care services
Carers can flexibly arrange the care services they require according to their needs.

 Work-life balance for carers
Carers can choose the right care service for their individual needs, especially for working carers, so that they do not have to worry about their family and can balance their family and professional needs while working.

Disadvantages:

 Long waiting time for applications
If the number of applicants is large, the waiting time for applications may be longer.

 Not able to choose the most suitable care service
Some older people or carers may not be able to choose the most suitable care services.
