In recent years, Huai'an City has actively advanced home-based elder-friendly modifications and upgrades to elder care service facilities, created an elder-friendly transportation environment, and accelerated the development of an elder-friendly society.

Home-based elder-friendly modifications have been carried out with high quality. For four consecutive years, the city has included home-based elder-friendly modification work in the municipal government's key livelihood projects, improving home-based elder care conditions for 12,000 elderly households and completing barrier-free renovations for 1,427 households with disabled persons in difficulty. Elder-friendly living experience centers have been established across the city's seven counties and districts, and the "Smart Assistance for Seniors" initiative has been carried out, training a total of 150,000 seniors in the use of intelligent technologies.

Renovations to elder care service facilities have achieved solid results. The special planning for elder care service facilities has been incorporated into the "Huai'an Municipal Catalog of Special Territorial Spatial Plans" for unified and coordinated preparation, promoting full implementation of the "four synchronizations" policy to ensure that elder care service spaces are planned, constructed, inspected, and delivered together in all newly built residential communities citywide. The city has actively advanced shantytown redevelopment and old residential community renovations, integrated the construction of barrier-free facilities into the development of characteristic pastoral villages and into efforts to create livable, business-friendly, and aesthetically improved rural communities, and accelerated the building of barrier-free environments in rural areas.

Efforts to create an elder-friendly travel environment have been warm and considerate. The city has comprehensively renovated tactile paving and upgraded barrier-free ramps, while installing solar-powered warning lights to enhance road safety. Elder-benefit policies have been actively implemented, providing discounted fares on urban public transportation for residents aged 60 and above. "Caring Priority Seats" have been set up on buses, trams, and other transit vehicles. At public facilities such as Huai'an East High-Speed Railway Station and the South Coach Station, clearly visible service signs for seniors and other key groups have been installed, along with dedicated waiting areas or priority seating.
