Elderly care in China has transitioned from a safety net providing basic livelihood support to a system of quality services that integrates both medical and health care.

As most elderly Chinese people prefer to live in their own homes rather than move to nursing homes, the country is making continuous efforts to ensure that relevant services are accessible within communities.

Beijing, the Chinese capital, has established a three-tier elderly care service network, encompassing district-level, sub-district-level, and community-based service centers and stations.

Such places have allowed the elderly to enjoy convenient, affordable, and inclusive elderly care services right at their doorsteps.
