"Instead of waiting in long queues at the hospital, I can get a full check-up right at my doorstep, and there are even doctors explaining health knowledge. This kind of activity is wonderful!" exclaimed elderly resident Wang Minghai happily to community officials, just after receiving a free health check-up during a community outreach event organized by the Fuxin Gastrointestinal Hospital. In recent years, Fuxin City's Xihe District has been continuously fostering a new ecosystem of all-age-friendly, co-constructed, and shared community governance through measures such as enhancing services for the elderly, upgrading care for the young, and promoting collaborative governance involving all generations.
Though small in scale, communities are the vital link connecting thousands of households. In recent years, the province has consistently placed community construction in a crucial position within grassroots governance, adhering to the philosophy of "serving the people, facilitating the people, and ensuring the safety of the people." By focusing on delivering "quality services," the province is fully committed to building "Happier New Communities," striving to achieve secure housing, accessible medical care, respectful aging support, and quality nurturing for the young.
Significant emphasis is placed on building service facilities close to home, actively constructing a "15-minute service circle." Accelerating the rollout of the "Community Party-Mass Service Center + Residential Area Party-Mass Service Station" model, adhering to a standard of no less than 30 square meters per hundred households, the province has currently built and put into operation over 4,800 community Party-Mass service centers, with an average area of 630 square meters. Guided by the principle of "minimizing office space, maximizing service provision," these centers are scientifically divided into functional zones for government affairs, Party-mass activities, comprehensive governance, and cultural/sports/wellness activities. They have also established flexible service systems, such as staggered hours, delayed closing, and appointment-based proxy services, achieving "single-window acceptance and integrated services." In Jinzhou City's Linghe District, the Party-mass service network has been extended into "residents' living rooms," where community Party secretaries host weekly public receptions, successfully helping residents resolve over 1,000 issues related to neighborhood disputes and property management. Yingkou City's Zhanqian District, Yuejin Street, Wanyou Community launched a special "Plaza Market" livelihood service project, regularly organizing quality merchants to enter the community, providing residents with one-stop convenient services like fresh produce direct supply and wholesale grains and oils.
Active efforts are underway to create high-quality property services. The province has comprehensively strengthened Party leadership within the property industry, establishing Party committees for the property sector at the provincial, municipal, and county levels. Property service enterprises that meet the criteria have established Party organizations, and 1,570 Party construction instructors have been dispatched to promote the achievement of "dual coverage" within the industry. A continuous campaign for the dynamic clearance of neighborhoods without property management is ongoing. By introducing state-owned property service enterprises, establishing non-profit property service organizations, and encouraging resident self-management, the property coverage rate for the province's 21,000 residential communities has been increased to 98.9%. A coordinated operational mechanism involving neighborhood committees, property owners' committees, and property service enterprises under the guidance of Party leadership has been improved. A credit management system for property service enterprises has been established to strengthen incentives for trustworthiness and penalties for失信行为. Dalian City has introduced a package of institutional documents, including standards for creating "Red Property" initiatives, promoting the transition of previously neglected residential compounds citywide to coordinated management.
Meticulous care is dedicated to protecting the well-being of both the very young and the elderly, thereby strengthening the foundation of people's livelihoods. Regarding care for the elderly, various localities in Liaoning are actively introducing social forces to develop in-home and community-based elderly care services. They flexibly provide services based on need, including long-term care, short-term residential care, daytime assistance, and door-to-door services such as meal assistance, medical aid, and emergency help, promoting the construction of age-friendly communities that integrate health and wellness support. For the young, efforts to develop community-based childcare services have been intensified. By integrating educational resources from schools, training institutions, and retired teachers, programs like the "4:30 School" and "Holiday Care Classes" have been established, providing安心 services for the healthy and happy development of children. Party member volunteers have been recruited to create an all-ages "Happiness Education" brand. In Shenyang City's Dadong District, through a model of "community coordination, resident requests, and diverse course delivery," a cumulative total of 35,000 class hours have been delivered to communities, serving 275,000 resident visits, receiving widespread praise from schools, parents, and students.
