Research on Optimization Strategies of Community Home-based Elderly Care Service System in My Country

Abstract

With the acceleration of the aging process of my country's population, the number of elderly people has increased rapidly, and the problem of elderly care has become increasingly prominent. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, by the end of 2023, the population aged 60 and above in my country will exceed 280 million, accounting for 19.8% of the total population. This change in population structure has posed severe challenges to social security, medical services, and elderly care resources. As an important way to deal with this problem, the community home-based elderly care service system has gradually become the focus of social attention because it can provide professional and diversified services in an environment familiar to the elderly. At present, my country's community home-based elderly care service system is still in the development stage. Although it has made certain progress in policy support and service model innovation, it still faces many problems and challenges. For example, the single service content, limited coverage, low degree of specialization, and insufficient capital investment have restricted the further development of the community home-based elderly care service system. How to optimize on the existing basis, improve service quality and coverage, and meet the growing and diversified needs of the elderly has become an urgent issue to be solved. This paper aims to systematically analyze the current status of my country's community home-based elderly care service system, deeply explore its existing problems and causes, and propose feasible optimization strategies based on advanced domestic and foreign experience, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the improvement of my country's community home-based elderly care service system. The study will adopt methods such as literature analysis, field research, and case analysis, striving to comprehensively and objectively reflect the actual situation of current community home-based elderly care services and explore optimization paths with promotion value.
