The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to "implement a national strategy to actively respond to population aging," "develop elderly care programs and industries, optimize services for elderly people living alone," and "promote the realization that all elderly people have access to basic elderly care services."

Shanghai, June 12 (Reporter Guo Zhendan): Shanghai, one of the earliest cities in China to enter an aging society and one of the most advanced, will have registered residents aged 60 and above accounting for 36.8% of its total population by the end of 2022. To implement the "Shanghai Regulations on Elderly Care Services," Shanghai will actively promote comprehensive statistical monitoring of elderly care services in 2022 and recently released the "2022 Shanghai Comprehensive Statistical Monitoring Report on Elderly Care Services" (as of December 31, 2022).

"The 'Lvmei Community Home Elderly Care Service Center' is right behind my house. After the renovation, it's beautiful. Most importantly, it offers a variety of home services for seniors, so I can rest assured that I can care for myself at home!" said an elderly woman.

A system for cultivating quality elderly care communities bridges the "last mile" of home-based elderly care.
