Thailand’s growing aging population who have increased longevity has resulted in an upsurge in disability and the expectation of chronic diseases. The demand for increased care challenges the government to develop treatment and long-term management procedures. This study explores the following two objectives: 1) identifying policies for intervention that improve the quality of life of the elderly; and 2) developing a sustainable and feasible ten-year delivery system for Long Term Care (LTC). We conducted comprehensive interviews with 8 male and 3 female policy makers on LTC development for the elderly in Thailand and analyzed these transcripts by using NVivo 8 data analysis. Two independent investigations that contain thematic codes have been developed from the transcript subset’s first set. Six of the identified issues – care services imbalance, poor management, skill search, health workforce scarcity, regulations, and information system problems – are considered urgent and require a solution. The surveys reiterate that an LTC scheme will become family- and community-based in a decade. The improvements in the quality of life for elderly patients with long-term conditions are accomplished through integrated services, regulatory system consolidation, an LTC workforce, infrastructure delivery, and investment in elderly health groups. LTC must use an all-inclusive societal policy.

Thailand is now developing very swiftly into an old aged society and therefore the demands for social and health services are increasing day by day. This present topic is a systemic review on the lives of the aged people of Thailand. A critical analysis has been made on the people of Thailand aged more than or equals to fifty. This review has been done by using data, recovered through Pub Med, Scopus and ISI Web of science. The point of this analysis was about these six below mentioned outcomes such as- health and well-being, living arrangements, use of health facilities, process-related health outcomes, income, or support. Seventy-two studies were published about this included this review within 1994 to 2016. Different methods and techniques such as quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods were used in these studies. In 51.4 % cases Probability sampling methods and in 44.5% cases purposive sampling methods were used. 31.9% of the information was taken from the national survey data. The data sources of these studies were taken primarily from the outpatients of the hospitals and secondarily from the primary health care centers who acted as the participants. These studies and analysis have determined different types of outcomes. Some outcomes indicate that the public health policies and programs on aging are not acting as a whole development program. On the other hand, some outcomes indicate on healthy life expectancy, which is the outcome of heath care. Imbalances can be noticed among the needs and the provided health care.
