China is facing one of the fastest-aging populations in the world, with nearly 400 million elderly people expected by 2035. In Shanghai, a new model of elder care is emerging, one that focuses on helping seniors age at home while staying connected to their community.

Residents in this neighborhood have access to healthcare, daily services, social activities, and even traditional treatments just steps from their homes. Social workers regularly check in, while smart technology helps monitor their well-being in real time.

For many seniors, this approach offers something more than care, it provides independence, dignity, and a sense of belonging. Eden Soto Alva reports from Shanghai on how China is rethinking elder care for the future.
