In der rasch alternden Gesellschaft Taiwans hat der Staat in den letzten Jahren ein kommunales Pflegesystem geschaffen, das vor allem die Alterung vor Ort und das aktive und selbstbestimmte Altern berücksichtigt, so wie es die EU und die WHO vorschlagen. Die kirchlichen Organisationen haben sich aktiv in diesem Pflegesystem engagiert und dabei die Gemeinwesendiakonie und spirituelle Pflege betont. Die Autorin analysiert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen diakonischen Einrichtungen, Kirchengemeinden und öffentlichen Anstalten und erforscht die Stärken und Schwächen der Gemeinwesendiakonie im Bereich der Altenpflege. Die Erfahrungen mit der Altenpflege in Taiwan sind eine hilfreiche Anregung für die Pflegearbeit der Diakonie in Deutschland.
