The findings from the Shanghai competition indicate a rapid transition in China's elderly care sector, moving beyond basic caregiving toward integrated, high-tech solutions. In the US, while occupancy growth is strong, operators like 12 Oaks Senior Living note that maintaining quality and culture is essential to sustain high occupancy levels.
