The Situation of the Thai Older Persons Report 2024 highlights ‘Ageing in Place’ as a key theme,
reflecting the contextual realities surrounding older persons in communities. It presents facts,
goals, and gaps through the components of the Ageing in Place concept. It serves as a guideline for
policymaking to promote ageing in place, for planning comprehensive health and social services,
and for ensuring service provision that covers all aspects conducive to the lives of older persons and
long-term care.
