Ms. WANG Yan Rui
Founder & Director, Leling Senior Citizen Social Work Center
Ms. Wang Yan Rui founded community-based elderly care in 2006 and has nearly 20 years of frontline service experience. She is one of the earliest pioneers in exploring community-based elderly care models and implementing "embedded community elderly care services" in China.
Over the years, Ms. Wang has been dedicated to promoting the healthy and sustainable development of community-based home care for seniors. Using community elderly care service stations as a platform, she has integrated day care, full-time care, and home-based elderly care services to meet the diverse professional nursing needs of seniors in and around the community. At the same time, she has continuously enriched and refined the concept of "embedded community elderly care services" by incorporating mutual aid among seniors, support for vulnerable elders, senior meal programs, health support for the elderly, and age-friendly products, extending services to nearly 100,000 seniors.
Through her pilot innovations, she contributed to the introduction of the Community Elderly Care Station Policy in 2015. Her organization, "Le ling," was also among the first service providers contracted for Beijing's Long-Term Care Insurance program, playing a key role in its pilot implementation in Beijing, particularly in the trial of long-term care insurance for severely disabled seniors. Her professional expertise has earned widespread recognition from various sectors.
