Exploring public attitudes of continuing care retirement communities in China: a sentiment analysis of China’s social media Weibo
The results reveal a predominantly positive sentiment toward CCRCs, emphasizing factors such as the living environment and government involvement. However, areas of concern, such as potential fraud and health and safety issues, remain. These findings both shed light on the public's acceptance or resistance to CCRCs for stakeholders and highlight the potential of social media analysis in shaping older people's care perceptions in today's China.
