In cities such as Shanghai, China has begun building nursing homes with multitudes of amenities — such as movies houses, beauty salons, game rooms and karaoke suites —\u00a0for those with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\r\n

In its Page One story last Thursday, headlined\u00a0“China, In A Shift To Acceptance, Takes On Its Alzheimer’s Problem,”\u00a0says that China within 30 years will likely have almost 400 million people older than 60.<\/p>\r\n

Instead of being ashamed when a family member has Alzheimer’s, or putting them in hospital psychiatric wards,\u00a0China is starting to construct more nursing homes to deal with its\u00a0elders suffering from dementia. In Shanghai, which has an estimated 120,000 residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s,\u00a0there are plans to build a nursing home in each of the city’s districts. Shanghai will need 5,000 more beds each year, according to The Times.<\/p>\r\n

China’s problems dealing with its aged have been exacerbated by its policy limiting couples to having only one child.\u00a0That means that a single Chinese person\u00a0will be expected to support and care for two parents and four grandparents, The Times reported.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
