An Atypical Nursing Home | Tencent



Wu Jiaxiang—Tencent “Living” Channel

Wu Jiaxiang photographed the Cuncaochunhui Nursing Home in Beijing, located in the city center and home to about 100 elderly residents. Community-based eldercare facilities like this one are hard to find in Beijing. High rent has pushed about 70 percent of Beijing’s eldercare services to the outskirts of the city. Securing a spot at a home like Cuncaochunhui requires a U.S.$3,000 security deposit (U.S.$8,000 for people from outside Beijing) and a long waiting period.
