Airbnb encourages elderly to integrate into community
House-sharing service provider Airbnb Inc will provide training for the elderly in China to improve their quality of life and help them participate in social and cultural activities.
The US-based company signed in early September a memorandum of understanding with Home Huashou, a social service organization registered by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and under the jurisdiction of the National Commission on Ageing. It mainly provides community old-age care services.
Mike Orgill, head of public policy for Airbnb Asia-Pacific region, said: "We are very honored to be a formal partner of Home Huashou and the two parties will work together to care for the elderly people."
