Fujian Church Nursing Home Opens

2001年复活节，漳州北门堂正式成立，迄今正好整20年。在庆祝建会20周年之际，历经多次勘察与筛选，借着祷告、寻求，位于漳州市九湖镇内寮农场192号的漳州北门堂迦乐养老院正式挂牌营业了！

养老院占地面积达一万多平方米，建筑面积5000多平方米。内设床位156张，设有VIP房、单人房、双人房和三人房等户型；配套有完善的餐厅、和休闲娱乐场所。养老院与漳州市人民医院合作建立“医疗绿色通道”，医疗室的专业医生全天候坐诊，有专业营养师、律师、护理人员及志愿者为老人提供膳食营养、法律咨询及日常生活服务。

随着我国社会老龄化速度的不断加快，养老保障的压力日益增大，人口基数大、养老资金不足等现实问题，导致国家的基本养老保障无法覆盖所有公民。漳州北门堂本着“爱人如己”的精神，积极参与养老事业，依据《民法总则》、新修订《宗教事务条例》等法律法规颁布与实施，为政府分忧，让老人老有所依，老有所养。

After investigations, screenings, and prayers, Jiale Nursing Home operated by Beimen Church in Zhangzhou, Fujian,  opened up for business on the occasion of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the church, which was established on Easter.
