As populations age around the world, the conversation around senior care is expanding beyond basic needs. For older adults, including those living with disabilities or dementia, dignity, respect and emotional support are just as important as food, housing and medical care.

Building a more age-friendly society requires not only better care systems, but also a culture of respect for seniors, said Wang Hongman, director of the Institute of Health and Society and professor of sociology at Southeast University. Ensuring older adults can live with dignity reflects a society's values and shapes the future that all of us will eventually share.
