Gashi Wangmo, an NPC deputy and director of a senior care center in Sichuan, just dropped some heartwarming news: elder services in the province are leveling up faster than a TikTok trend! Speaking at Beijing's Deputies' Corridor ahead of China's national legislature session, she highlighted personalized meals, cultural activities, and expanded facilities that now feel \"more like communities than institutions.\"
From ‘Golden Girls’ to Golden Policies 🧓
Wangmo’s center in Barkam City has become a blueprint for modern senior care in China, blending tech like health-monitoring wearables with old-school mahjong sessions. Data shows nearly 73.7% of Sichuan’s urban seniors now have access to upgraded care networks – a win for families juggling work and aging parents.
Why It Matters 🌏
With China’s 60+ population hitting 297 million last year (per National Bureau stats), better elder care isn’t just kind – it’s smart economics. Young professionals and diaspora communities are eyeing moves like these to balance career dreams with cultural values of family care.
