笔者在天津、北京调查发现,虽然有70%以上的老人表示愿意到那些离家较近、服务较好的养老院或老年公寓试住,但却又有90%以上的老人还是选择居家养老的方式。以北京市为例,目前该市常住人口中60岁以上的老人有170多万,全市有养老院、托老所300多所,床位1万多张,却总共只收住老人 The author’s survey in Tianjin and Beijing found that while more than 70% of the elderly people indicated that they would like to try out those elderly people’s homes or elderly apartments which are closer to home and serve better, more than 90% of the elderly still choose the way of home-based care . Take Beijing as an example. At present, there are over 1.7 million elderly people over the age of 60 in the city’s resident population. There are more than 300 nursing homes, over 300 elderly care places and more than 10,000 beds in the city.
