New community-based elderly care initiatives are emerging in Vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh City, the Hoa Hoi Commune Medical Station launched a day care center on October 1. The facility provides health examinations, rehabilitation, nutritional counseling, and psychological support, utilizing guidance from the Ho Chi Minh City Rehabilitation Hospital and Occupational Disease Treatment. Funding for the center was sourced from government budgets, local official contributions, and philanthropic donations.

In Hanoi, the day-care nursing home model is being utilized by seniors to balance specialized care with family life. For example, a 94-year-old former lecturer reported using a resort and nursing home facility during mornings to socialize and receive care, while returning home in the afternoons to maintain connections with his children and grandchildren.
