Analysis of the Dilemma and Countermeasures of Smart Elderly Care Services in Rural Home from the Perspective of Active Aging

With the intensification of population aging and against the backdrop of the active aging concept, the traditional pension model in rural areas is increasingly unable to meet the growing demand for elderly care. The field of elderly care services faces many urgent pain points and difficulties that need to be addressed. To this end, the "Smart Health Elderly Care Industry Development Action Plan" clearly proposes to accelerate the construction of the smart elderly care industry. By December 2024, 27 provinces in China have successively introduced suggestions and guarantee measures for the development of smart elderly care, actively promoting the exploration and practice of smart elderly care. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the government will continue to support the development of various innovative elderly care models such as "Internet + Elderly Care", "Property + Elderly Care", and "Medical Health + Elderly Care". It is expected that by 2025, community elderly care services will achieve full coverage and a complete community home-based elderly care service network will be established.
