Abstract

As it’s well known, the welfare state cares for all citizens have their basics needs covered, at any age and in any circumstances; there are anyway different models in prosecuting the target. Not all the approaches to the concept of the system are although similar, with different visions depending on the country or geographical area. The objective we follow with the present paper is describing the main features of the different services that the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, two of the so-called liberal welfare system, offer to their citizens in several aspects of long term care assistance.
