隨著醫療科技與公共衛生的進步,國內外文獻均指出智能障礙者平均餘命延長,國內外許多文獻中均提到,心智障礙者生理老化的年齡較一般人提早10到20歲左右,換句話說,以現在一般所認定的65歲老化為基準,心智障礙者邁入老化的年齡約45歲左右。本研究運用質性訪談方法,主要探究雙老家庭成年心智障礙者照顧安排與安老準備。研究結果:在資料分析中研究者發現主要照顧者對福利服務資訊陌生及主要照顧者的社經地位都會影響主要照顧者對成年心智障礙者未來安老生活安排的影響;就福利服務資訊方面分幾個層面來探討: 一、 在政策的擬訂與宣導。 二、 民間團體與政府部門在服務的價值觀上有不同的看法。 三、 資訊取得的障礙。 四、 服務系統建構的便利性及可近性不夠完善。 接著根據以上研究結果,提出研究建議,如後: 一、 加強成年心智障礙者的財產信託與監護宣告的教育宣導。 二、 提供社會住宅福利政策。 三、 建構完善的資源服務網絡。 四、 加強其簡化公部門的行政效率與流程。 五、 善用基層人力網絡,促進鄰里長與民間團體合作,以達最佳服務成效。 六、 提供心智障礙者安老生活的居住環境或安置機構。
