Community-based Home Care Aging in China Current Situation Development Strategies
Abstract
In contemporary China, the phenomenon of population ageing is becoming increasingly salient. The rapid growth of the elderly population has led to a concomitant rise in the prominence of the issue of elderly care, which is now a matter of growing public concern. The implementation of the community-based elderly care model plays a pivotal role in effectively responding to the challenges brought about by an ageing society. It can provide more comprehensive and caring elderly care services for the elderly, thereby further promoting the sustainable and sound development of the elderly care cause. Presently, deficiencies persist in the provision of community-based elderly care in China. These include insufficient service supply, imperfect facility construction and a shortage of human resources. To address these issues, it is imperative for the government and all societal sectors to collaborate, refine pertinent policies, facilitate the recruitment of advanced professionals, and implement other strategies. This will ensure that the elderly receive convenient, efficient, and accurate senior care services, allowing them to enjoy a peaceful twilight years.
