    Abstract: Background:With the increasing number of individuals with dementia, families have hired an increasing number of live-in migrant caregivers (LIMCs). Currently, limited evidence is available regarding the influence of long-term care resource utilization on the hiring of LIMCs for caring for individuals with dementia in Taiwan.Methods:We recruited individuals with dementia who did not hire LIMCs and their primary family caregivers from nine hospitals in Taiwan as baseline. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the utilization of long-term care resources for individuals with dementia and other factors that may affect the decision to hire LIMCs.Results:The users of non-long-term care resources had the highest likelihood of hiring LIMCs (odds ratio [OR] = 4.24, 95% CI, 2.30-7.84). Compared with spouses, nonimmediate family caregivers (OR = 3.40, 95% CI, 1.16-9.90) were significantly more likely to hire LIMCs. A higher likelihood of hiring LIMCs was observed for those with Lewy body dementia compared with other individuals (OR = 2.31, 95% CI, 1.03-5.14). Compared with individuals who did not hire LIMCs, those who hired LIMCs exhibited higher scores on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and higher severity of individual NPI items.Conclusion:Hiring LIMCs is strongly correlated with the utilization of non-long-term care resources and is influenced by the dynamics between individuals with dementia and their primary family caregivers. A higher likelihood of hiring LIMCs was observed for individuals with Lewy body dementia and individuals with elevated NPI scores compared with their counterparts. Given these observations, various support strategies and interventions should be tailored to the specific requirements of individuals with dementia and their families.
