Elderly care in the Chinese mainland has undergone a significant transformation. What was once a basic safety net providing livelihood support has now evolved into a comprehensive system that integrates both medical and health care services.
Recognizing that most seniors prefer to remain in their own homes rather than move to nursing facilities, efforts are being made to ensure these high-quality services are accessible within local communities. This shift not only respects the desires of the elderly to maintain their independence but also fosters a more supportive and connected community environment.
