Abstract:	This research aims to investigate the passage of Long-Term Care Services Act, the controvercies within articles of the Act, and its influence on long-term care facilities. The Long-Term Care Services Act cleared the Legislature on May 15th, 2015 as a legal policy. On June 3rd, 2015 it was formally announced by the Executive Office of the President, and was planned to be implemented two years later, on June 3rd, 2017. The Act includes seven chapters and sixty-six articles. Its draft was raised in 2009 and authored in 2015. As this Act involves interests of various groups, the passage of the law was achieved in haste with many a debate and negotiation. The political process made huge influence on this Act. As a result, this research will focus on the passage of the Act and the combing of debates. The endeavors to analyze these phenomena and issues in this research are also to serve as a reference for future concerning policies. This research adopts qualitative analysis and the researcher interviews facilities individually via judgemental sampling. The interview content includes issues and controversies incurred on the passage of the law and its influences on long-term care facilities in the future. Based on the interviews, my conclusion and recommendations are as follow: 1. Funding will be the utmost influence on the practice of Long-Term Care Services Act. Sustanable provision of funding may substantially enforce the Act. 2. In the Act, establishment standard in facilities and professional personnel trainings are the prime sources of better quality. Yet affordability of facilities should also be taken into account so the Act can cover the most in need. 3. Long-Term Care Services Act focuses on the management of long-term care facilities, which does not correspond to the current situation.
