Reablement services of Long-term Care 2.0 has been implemented in 2018. It emphasizes a client-centered strategy that guides a client to choose and participate in important life tasks and use their performance of these tasks as an outcome indicator. This article describes and summarizes the latest information of long-term care professional services from four countries, Japan, Norway, England, and Australia. In the past three years, the Japanese government has launched science-based long-term care and performance-based quality management, built an information platform, monitored and given feedback to the professional service units who delivered efficacious care, and reduced payments for those service units with poor outcomes. The Norwegian reablement team staff work together in the same community office, thus providing an environment to facilitate frequent and effective inter-professional collaboration. The professionals work closely with the caregivers to achieve the reablement goals set by the client. Education platforms by social media were created to promote the reablement literacy of the public. The United Kingdom National Health Service provides intermediate care in multiple settings with six-weeks free service to promote easy access to reablement and eliminate financial burden to the recipient. The reablement professionals join the social care team to works closely with the caregivers. Australia My Aged Care separates those with reablement potential and those without potential via screening at the time of application. Those with potential are eligible to receive two periods of reablement per year. The establishment of a long-term care system that prioritizes reablement is a necessary mission to ensure aging in place. Lessons learned from other countries' experiences can be a good reference for our country.
