Abstract:
China’s integrated elderly care and medical services model is mainly reflected in the close cooperation between medical institutions and pension institutions， providing comprehensive care services for the elderly， and has been promoted nationwide. However， this model still faces challenges， such as uneven resource distribution， inconsistent service standards， and a lack of talent. As the aging process of the population deepens continuously， the demand for integrated elderly care and medical services has increased， and relevant policies issued by the government and social concerns have brought development opportunities for this model. Scientific and technological advancements will also promote the development of integrated elderly care and medical services towards intelligence and personalization. It is expected that continuous investment in policies， capital， technology， and other aspects will be made to promote the standardization， specialization， and popularization of services to meet the needs of the elderly and improve their quality of life. The joint efforts of all sectors of society are also needed to continuously innovate service models and improve service levels， to effectively address the challenges brought by an aging society.
