As the Chongyang Festival approaches, Dongcheng Renjia Community in Daxin Town, in collaboration with Zhongfang Property, has launched a series of themed activities titled "Warm Autumn, Love on Chongyang." The event aims to promote the traditional virtues of respecting, caring for, and assisting the elderly, offering a blend of cultural, practical, and recreational activities tailored for senior residents.
The festivities included a special performance by a self-organized Qinqiang opera troupe of retired community members, free haircuts, health consultations, and policy awareness sessions—all warmly received by the elderly. Games like ring toss and arrow throwing at the fun sports meet sparked laughter, while the DIY mugwort hammer station combined wellness with hands-on creativity.
This Chongyang celebration not only honored the festival’s spirit but also showcased the community’s "property + elderly care" service model. The vision of seniors aging "without leaving family, home, or social circles" is gradually becoming reality.
Guided by party-building initiatives, the community has pioneered a collaborative approach involving property management and multiple stakeholders to make elderly care more compassionate. From organizing holiday events to implementing daily "seven assistance" services (medical aid, cleaning, bathing, meals, shopping, recreation, and emotional support), the model ensures round-the-clock care beyond seasonal activities.
To address the needs of high-risk groups like the elderly living alone or with disabilities, the community established a tripartite mechanism—combining community grid managers, property health stewards, and professional caregivers—using a "four-color grading system" for precise service delivery. Zhongfang Property’s health stewards created personalized profiles for 344 seniors, classifying them into red (disabled/semi-disabled), orange (high-risk chronic conditions), yellow (living alone/empty nesters), and green (healthy/active) tiers for targeted support.
Interest-based activities further enrich seniors’ lives. Pre-existing hobby groups, such as a handicraft club led by 68-year-old Aunt Zhang, have flourished with community and property support, evolving from small gatherings to weekly meetings and online exhibitions. Similar clubs for chorus, calligraphy, opera, and dance foster companionship and joy, embodying the "recreational assistance" pillar of the elderly care system.
Transitioning from government-led to multi-party participation, Dongcheng Renjia’s model alleviates family care burdens while invigorating community governance. With a service network integrating grid managers, property stewards, professional institutions, and volunteers, the community has conducted over 2,000 elderly care services this year, achieving a 98% satisfaction rate. Moving forward, it aims to deepen collaborations, ensuring services align precisely with seniors’ needs—balancing efficiency with warmth.
