Trends in the availability of community-based home visiting services for oldest-old in China, 2005-2018.

Despite the increasing service availability over the past 13 years, persistent geographical disparities in the availability of CHVS remain. As of 2017/2018, only one in three oldest-old in China reported having service availability, which raises concerns regarding continuity of care across different settings of services for those most in need, especially those living alone or with disabilities. National policies and targeting efforts are necessary to improve the availability of CHVS and reduce inequity in service availability for optimal long-term care to the oldest-old population in China.
