In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, homes for the aged have seriously suffered from the fifth wave of COVID-19. Although the problem of an ageing population emerges as a global issue, the relevant studies related to homes for the aged are under-researched. In this chapter, we explored the weaknesses of homes for the aged and weak government policies that have posed threats to homes for the aged to deal with numerous confirmed cases of COVID-19. In response, we propose possible ways for homes for the aged to deal with the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. It may give useful guidelines for the policymakers, researchers, homes for the aged, and the local community to design and implement anti-epidemic measures in the forthcoming years.
