Study On Perfecting The System Of China’s Community & Home-Based Elder Care Service In The New Era

Since the 18th CPC National Congress,the CPC Central Committee and the government have attached great importance to elderly care services,introduced policies and measures to accelerate the development of elderly care services,and made the life security of the elderly an important part of the implementation of the“people-centered” development thought and the improvement of people’s well-being.Therefore,the national strategy of how to actively respond to population aging,embark on a path of “healthy aging” with Chinese characteristics,and build a“elderly friendly society” is a theoretical and practical problem that China must solve at this stage.In 2021,the State Council issued the “14th Five Year Plan for the Development of National Elderly Care and Elderly Care Service System”,which clearly stated the overall requirements for development: “With a focus on accelerating the improvement of social security,elderly care services,and health support systems,integrate the positive aging concept and healthy aging concept into the entire process of economic and social development,And set the development goal of “accelerating the improvement of the elderly care service system and health support system that coordinate home community institutions and combine medical care and health care,and actively respond to the initial formation of the population aging pattern in the whole society”.Compared to the drawbacks of traditional family care,social care,and institutional care,community based home care,as a care model that relies on community organizations,and serves public welfare volunteer services,not only maintains the advantages of traditional family care and community care,but also has the characteristics of lower cost and higher service quality.It is China’s promotion to actively respond to population aging and continuously meet people’s aspirations for a better life while promote harmonious social development.Meanwhile,it is an important part of deepening the reform of the social security system and improving the social security system during the 14th Five Year Plan period and even beyond.Against the backdrop of a gradually deepening aging population,accelerating the improvement of the community home-based elderly care service system and elderly care undertakings have become an important component of building a socialist modernized country.Only by establishing a scientific,reasonable,and standardized supply system for social elderly care services can we effectively solve the problem of elderly care.Therefore,this article will delve into the construction and improvement of China’s community home-based elderly care service system in the new era,effectively understand the current problems and difficulties that need to be solved,and provide practical suggestions for China to embark on a new journey in the elderly care cause based on the practical experience of various parties.This paper starts with a theoretical overview of the community home-based elderly care service system in the new era.Based on the introduction of different elderly care service models and connotations,it analyzes the drawbacks of traditional family and institutional elderly care models,points out the advantages of the community home-based elderly care model,and elaborates on the direction of improving the community home-based elderly care service system in the new era.The third chapter explains the theoretical basis of the community home care service system in the new era.The theoretical source of the construction of the community home care service system comes from Marx’s theory of human needs,social security thought and people’s all-round development thought.The important discussion on safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood provides a fundamental basis for improving the community home care service system in the new era.Afterwards,the paper reviewed the development process of China’s elderly care services since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.Currently,China’s elderly care service system is in a new period of accelerated improvement and breakthrough.Summarizing the process of China’s social elderly care services can help make up for the shortcomings in improving elderly care services and provide important experience for China’s construction of a new era community home care service system.In order to make up for the shortcomings and improve the quality and efficiency of elderly care services,China can learn from the advanced technology and experience of developed countries.By learning from developed countries such as the United States,Japan,and the United Kingdom in terms of elderly care system construction,legislative reform,promoting balance between service supply and demand,fiscal investment and financing channel construction,and open management mechanisms,we can accelerate the development of elderly care services.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,and China’s community home-based elderly care service system has achieved significant breakthroughs in terms of institutional models,governance patterns,implementation concepts,service functions,and resource reserves.However,it cannot be denied that in the new era,there are still problems in China’s community home-based elderly care service system,such as the lack of legal construction of the community home-based elderly care service system,insufficient supply of the community home-based elderly care service system,incomplete management system of the community home-based elderly care service system,difficulties in financing the community home-based elderly care service system,and insufficient intelligence of the community home-based elderly care service system,which need to be urgently addressed.Finally,the paper provides policy recommendations for improving the community home care service system in China in the new era,including strengthening relevant laws and regulations,enhancing the high-quality supply of elderly care services,implementing high-quality management of elderly care services,promoting innovative financing development of elderly care services,and improving the technical guarantee mechanism of elderly care services.
