At just 28 years old, Fan Jinlin is revolutionizing senior care through his innovative 'happy elderly care' model across five nursing homes in Henan Province. What began as a personal mission to improve his grandmother's quality of life after a serious fall has blossomed into a movement redefining aging in modern China.
Armed with a media studies background and early certifications in elder care management, Fan combines digital savvy with intergenerational connection. His facilities feature esports rooms where residents team up for League of Legends matches, TikTok-style video productions starring the seniors themselves, and daily musical performances that bridge age gaps.
'We're not just providing care – we're co-creating lifestyles,' Fan explains through his new media team's documentation. The approach has attracted attention nationwide, showing how technology and youthful energy can transform traditional perceptions of nursing homes into spaces of continued growth and joy.
This model comes as China faces growing demand for innovative senior care solutions, with analysts noting its potential to influence both social services and related business sectors across Asia.
