三部门合力升级养老服务保障措施

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent measures introduced by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and National Health Commission to support the reform and development of elderly care services in China, focusing on reducing land costs and revitalizing existing spaces to enhance the quality and efficiency of elderly care services [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Measures - The measures aim to create a low-cost land policy system, ensuring that land for non-profit elderly care institutions is fully protected and allocated legally, exempting them from land transfer fees [1]. - For profit-oriented elderly care land, the measures promote flexible models such as long-term leasing and "rent first, transfer later," allowing land transfer fees to be paid over two years, which alleviates initial financial pressure on enterprises [1]. Group 2: Resource Utilization - The measures break down barriers to revitalizing urban and rural stock resources, transforming "sleeping" spaces into primary locations for elderly care services [2]. - In urban areas, the policy allows for the renovation of old neighborhoods and underutilized land to add elderly care and integrated medical facilities, with the original land use maintained for five years without additional land costs [2]. - In rural areas, the focus is on utilizing idle collective construction land for elderly care facilities, allowing eligible collective business construction land to be used for elderly projects through transfer or leasing, thus avoiding the occupation of arable land and lowering the threshold for rural elderly care projects [2].
