Shanghai will create a senior care service circle in downtown districts which will allow the elderly to enjoy meals, day care, or medical treatment services within 15 minutes from their homes, civil affairs authorities told a working conference on Thursday. "Community-embedded senior care service is a priority of the city, and the target is to bring senior care services to people's fingertips," said Zhu Qinhao, director of the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau. By 2022, there will be 1,600 community-based canteens for the elderly in the city, serving about 5 percent of the Shanghai's senior citizens above 65 years of age.
