Abstract
Globally, we face a rapid double growth of the ageing population that urges an integrated framework plan by connecting the health and social care disciplines as a shared and continuum of care approach. Bridging the gap between health and social care is required to meet the demand of ageing population needs, the readiness of the stakeholders, and community as a holistic approach. This article provides an overview of the evidence gap between social care and healthcare through a scoping review. Articles retrieved related to social and health care for older adults in the Asia region were identified through a compilation of PubMed, SAGE, Springer, and Google Scholar searches between the years 2015 to 2021. Only twelve articles were used for result generation. The majority highlights the constraint on financial support, issues related to culture, human resource competency and community participation. The systematic review of the current work provides valuable insight for future researchers and policymakers in designing sustainable development integrated long term care (LTC) framework models and plans.

This review aims to provide an evidence-based synthesis for the national diagnostic study and long-term care plan for communities in Malaysia

The care planning should focus on three main components: the financial model, human resources, and the long term care model
Summary
The ageing population phenomenon in most regions of Asia has increased drastically. It goes much faster than most developed European countries and the United States, which took more than 150 years to become an aged nation. Recent literature identified that world ageing populations have shifted to East Asia and Southeastern Asia. The population aged 65 years or over almost doubled from 6% in 1990 to 11% in 2019 [1]
