The particular situation of China determines that home-based eldercare will be the primary way of eldercare

covering more than 90% of the elderly population. Active home-based eldercare is different from traditional family eldercare in terms of support. Active home-based eldercare transforms the traditional passive family eldercare with affection but no guarantee into active home-based eldercare with affection and support. Active home-based eldercare is an eldercare model that enhances the self-reliance of the elderly

promotes a positive lifestyle where they actively pursue good health and is supported by community eldercare care services and medical care services. The active home-based model is a practical and feasible eldercare model in line with China’s national conditions

and it is the only way for the development of eldercare in China

which can effectively solve the current eldercare dilemma in China. However

it requires the joint efforts of the elderly

medical institutions

and society to provide quality

efficient and trustworthy medical protection for the elderly in active home-based eldercare.Health education should be strengthened to enhance society’s health literacy and encourage the elderly to carry out proactive actions in a comprehensive manner. What’s more

society should also draw on the wisdom of many experiences

seek advanced eldercare concepts and establish a positive eldercare support system

promptly transform theoretical knowledge into practical capabilities and apply them to the field of active home-based eldercare.It should always adhere to the concept of active health

actively use big data

artificial intelligence

and other advanced technologies to promote the precise radiation of high-quality medical resources. It should insist on the customization and digital transformation of the living environment of the elderly to provide a basis for the medical support of active home-based eldercare. Active home-based eldercare has a long way to go

but the future is promising.
