Abstract

With the rapid development of China's social economy in recent years, the problem of population aging has become more prominent. In this situation, the development of community-based home-based care and medical care services has become a strategic choice to actively respond to the aging of the population. It not only plays an important role in solving this problem, but also better meets the development requirements of China's pension industry. However, at this stage, there are still some problems in the existing community-level medical care and old-age care service model. The problems such as the maintenance of no doctors and the separation of medical care are particularly obvious. This paper briefly introduces the related concepts and theories of the combination of population aging and social medical care. Based on the current situation of community-based care for the elderly in our community, this paper mainly studies and analyzes the characteristics and contents of the community-based old-age care service model. Through research, it is found that the lack of ability and motivation of home-based medical care combined service model, the lack of incentives for basic medical insurance, and the “path dependence” of elderly medical treatment choices are the main factors that restrict the development of home-based care and pension model. Studies have shown that improving the ability and motivation of home-based medical care services in primary medical institutions, improving the incentives and restraint mechanisms for basic medical insurance, and scientifically guiding older people to change irrational medical treatment behaviors are promoting the development of community-based care for the important countermeasures.
