The "Beijing Elderly Care Services Regulation" passed by the Beijing Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee will be implemented starting from July 1st this year. The regulation innovatively constructs a hierarchical classification, universally accessible, covering urban and rural areas, and sustainable development elderly care service system, breaking the limitation of focusing solely on home-based care, and covering the entire chain of elderly care service system. The regulation is the first in the country to solidify the three-level elderly care service network of "districts, streets and towns, communities and villages" through legislative means, providing a solid legal support for precise and comprehensive access to elderly care services for the elderly.
