European Healthcare Expenditure on Residential Long-Term Care Facilities by Enterprise Financing Schemes by Country

The European healthcare expenditure on residential long-term care facilities by enterprise financing schemes shows notable disparities across countries. In 2023, Liechtenstein led with a per capita expenditure of 49.32 euros, followed by Switzerland at 35.5 euros and Ireland at 20.29 euros. Germany and Lithuania were significantly lower at 0.52 and 0.29 euros per capita, respectively. The year-on-year changes from 2022 to 2023 were moderate across these countries, with Lithuania showing the highest growth at 10.01% and Liechtenstein the lowest at 1.13%.

Looking ahead, several trends could impact future expenditures on residential long-term care facilities across Europe:

• Demographic shifts, with ageing populations potentially increasing demand and expenditure.
• Development in enterprise financing schemes that can alter funding structures and expenditure levels.
• Policy changes at the EU level that may aim to standardize or improve long-term care across different countries.
