"With the expansion of the aging population, the health care for the aged people has become a big problem," said Zhang Hongbo, an authority of the Office of the Affairs of the Aged People of Jiangbei District Civil Affairs Bureau. By the end of 2011, Jiangbei District has 45,228 people aged over 60, covering 18.8% of the total population. Though the community health service centers have made health archives of the aged and they offer them some medical services, they are unable to provide the aged people daily health services.

To solve this problem, in March this year, Jiangbei District started a program to give the aged people volunteer services, setting up volunteer stations for the home-based health services for the aged. According to Zhang Hongbo, the volunteer stations in communities for the home-based health services for the aged offer the aged such services as rehabilitation, nursing, blood pressure taking, and recipe consultation. In the future, they will offer more services to meet the needs of the aged people like beauty care and disease prevention.

"We have 8 teams of volunteers who are students of specialities of rehabilitation, nursing and nutrition. About 100 students entered their names," said Wang Min, Secretary of the Youth League Committee of Tianyi Vocational and Technical College of Ningbo. It is reported that The volunteers will establish one-to-one relationship with 2 or 3 single aged people, and offer them personalized services
