Abstract:
At present, China’s response to the aging population situation is unprecedentedly urgent, and the construction and planning of the pension system face great challenges. Home-based elderly care services stand out in institutional-based elderly care and family-based elderly care due to their unique advantages in meeting the individual needs of the elderly. By sorting out the main types, policy lines, and supply and demand status of home-based elderly care service, this paper indicated that there are five aspects of problems in home-based elderly care service, including weak professional talent team construction, relatively insufficient capital investment, weak supply-demand matching, imperfect operating mechanism, and imperfect supporting facilities. It was proposed that in the future home-based elderly care services should strive to strengthen the construction of professional talent teams, widen financing channels, fully play the leading role of the government, perfect the operational mechanism and the construction of supporting facilities of home-based elderly care services, so as to provide reference for the optimization of the home-based elderly care service system in China.
