How This Nursing Home and Daycare Is Changing Eldercare Perceptions | Changing Ageing in Asia: China

Most of China’s seniors age at home, as per the government’s 90–7–3 eldercare model: 90% ageing at home, 7% supported by community services such as daycare, and 3% in institutions. But with fewer births and a rapidly ageing population, families are finding it harder to manage care for seniors alone. Yet, the stigma of abandonment still surrounds families who enrol their elderly in community care centres and nursing homes. In Shanghai, the country’s fastest-ageing city, Huakang Health Industry Group is piloting a solution that will complement family care: Eldercare centres embedded in communities, providing a range of care from basic day services to intensive live-in support for those with advanced dementia. This enables Shanghai’s elderly to choose the services they need at the stage they are at. Are eldercare centres that support quality of life the blueprint for China’s ageing cities? 00:00 Introduction 00:46 What is China’s 90-7-3 eldercare model? 01:09 Strain of being a primary caregiver 01:39 cultural stigma over eldercare centres 03:10 How social activities improve seniors’ health 04:57 How seniors are empowered to help each other 05:43 China’s dementia crisis 06:35 Huakang’s non-pharma approach to dementia 08:16 How Huakang equips family caregivers In partnership with DBS Foundation.
