Year: 2025

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: In the context of urban-rural integration, exploring models for elderly community care has emerged as a critical issue in addressing the challenges posed by China’s aging population. This paper analyzes the disparities in elderly care service needs between urban and rural areas, along with their developmental trends. The findings indicate that establishing interconnected elderly care communities can optimize resource allocation, enhance service quality, and foster social harmony and stability. However, this model encounters several challenges, including funding for sustained development, high construction costs, a shortage of professionals, and insufficient medical facilities. To address these issues, this paper proposes multi-dimensional strategies encompassing scientific planning, industrial integration, technological innovation, and community governance to facilitate the development of urban-rural linked elderly care communities. It is recommended that the government implement preferential policies to encourage participation from social capital while strengthening professional talent cultivation to achieve balanced development in urban and rural elderly care services.
