Vanke, the country's largest property developer in terms of market value, has branched out into senior citizen care services.

In fact, the realty behemoth sees the segment as one of its future growth engines. That is because the traditional real estate sector has been slowing of late.

The company recently unveiled its ambitious plan for the senior care industry. Called the Dignified Life Project, it includes the country's first senior care industry ecosystem in the Yangtze River delta area.
