Research on the Problems and Countermeasures of Community Home Care Service -- Take Community of Xuwen in Guangdong as an Example

This paper aims to study the development status and existing problems of community home care service and put forward the corresponding improvement countermeasures. This paper clarifies its definition, characteristics, and models by combining the development process and the current situation of community home care services at home and abroad. It provides a theoretical basis for studying the specific practice of Xuwen in Guangdong. This paper analyzes the current community home-based care services for older people from two aspects of service supply and demand, including service providers, service items, service quality, and the characteristics of the elderly population demand. The results show many deficiencies in the service network, content diversity, and supply and demand matching, manifesting in the imperfect service system, low service quality and efficiency, and insufficient policy support and capital investment. Therefore, this paper puts forward a series of improvement countermeasures such as building a diversified service network, enriching service content, improving the quality of service personnel, strengthening management and supervision, suggesting that the government should improve policies and increase financial investment to optimize the community home care services.
