In recent years, Huimin county in Binzhou city, Shandong province has been ramping up efforts to care for elderly residents and improve old-age assistance services.

Elderly care centers have been established in residential communities to meet the needs of the elderly. The center offers various services from health checkups to housecleaning.

Canteens where older people can enjoy affordable meals in a clean environment have also been built, which provide diversified meal services for the elderly in rural areas.
