Elderly care in China is undergoing a significant transformation. No longer just a safety net for basic needs, the system now offers high-quality services that seamlessly integrate medical and health care.
Most elderly residents of China prefer to stay in their own homes rather than move to nursing facilities. In response, the country is continuously enhancing community-based services to ensure these preferences are met.
Beijing has pioneered a comprehensive three-tier elderly care network, encompassing district-level, sub-district-level, and community-based service centers and stations.
These centers provide the elderly with convenient, affordable, and inclusive care services right in their neighborhoods, ensuring a fulfilling and high-quality life at home.
