## Abstract

This study aims to assess the service quality and user satisfaction of a community support program (CSP) in a specific administrative region of Taiwan. Employing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 450 CSP users in the region via a questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, ANOVA, and Scheffe’s Test, were conducted using SPSS 22.0. The findings reveal that users aged 70–79 years with primary education, as well as those with demand or unknown demand for long-term care, reported the highest level of satisfaction with CSP services (mean = 4.5, SD = 0.7, p < 0.05). The study underscores the influence of user characteristics and their understanding of the services on satisfaction levels. These insights provide clear direction for policymakers in shaping the future of CSPs, emphasizing the importance of addressing user needs and enhancing awareness and the utilization of available services.
