57 ANNUAL REPORT 2024 OVERVIEW PERFORMANCE SUSTAINABILITY FINANCIALS APPENDIX PERENNIAL ALZHEIMER’S CARE VILLAGE XI’AN 西安鹏瑞利知智照护家园 Perennial Alzheimer’s Care Village Xi’an (“PACVX”) stands as China’s first dedicated Alzheimer’s care village and the sixth such facility worldwide. Situated within the prestigious Zhouzhi Louguan Ecological Cultural Tourism Resort Zone, this innovative project spans over 460,000 sq ft of land, nestled amidst scenic lakes, gardens, mountains and cultural landmarks, creating a serene and therapeutic environment. PACVX provides a comprehensive, personalised and integrated approach to the care of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. The development, with a total built-up area of more than 400,000 sq ft, encompasses a range of facilities, including an eldercare complex, nursing hospital and rehabilitation hospital, with a total of 700 beds. At the heart of PACVX is the International Geriatric Health Management Research Institute, which has established the first training base for Alzheimer’s care in Northwest China. The facility’s multidisciplinary team ensures a holistic approach to care, comprising neurologists, geriatricians, cardiologists, rehabilitation therapists, TCM physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, nutritionists and caregivers. PACVX’s integrated model blends Western medicine with TCM, offering a variety of non-pharmacological therapies such as “Aromatic Three Needles”, acupuncture, multi-sensory therapy, music therapy and virtual reality somatosensory training all designed to enhance the well-being of residents. Unlike traditional Alzheimer’s care facilities, PACVX has been meticulously designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment that supports the holistic needs of its residents. Surrounded by lush natural landscapes, the village incorporates numerous purpose-built amenities that engage the five senses, fostering a sense of normalcy and comfort. These include a clubhouse, post office, hair salon, shops, a children’s playground and various exercise areas. In addition, state-of-the-art tracking and positioning systems enable residents to explore the grounds safely and independently, further enriching their daily experience. By strongly emphasising resident-centred care and empowering individuals to lead meaningful, active and healthy lives, PACVX is setting a new benchmark in Alzheimer’s care and senior living, not only in China, but also globally.
