Up to the first half year of 2005, although there were several hospitals and wards for life care in China, the number was very small and most patients got to the end of life in the wards of general hospitals. Because of the limited ward condition or economic condition, some of them were only possible to be moved to the single rooms or the emergency rooms with fewer beds several days before their death.
What is more, general hospitals are liable to pay attention to physical treatment while ignoring psychological guidance. There may have various mental disorders for patients in late period of their life, which are always from the blow of disease, the pain of body, and the loss of self-care ability. A hospital for life care is able to solve not only physiological problems, but also psychological problems of the patients through their professional functions, and bring the patients sense of satisfaction, security and respect, and thereby improve patients` quality of life. Apparently, there is a need for independent hospitals for life care in market.
In the year of 2004, the founder Jilong Zheng worked as a general manager of an international hotel in an outside province. As a result, he failed to guard his mother at her side when she was approaching the end of life. In order to make up for what he has lost, he chose life care as his lifelong goal, based on historical responsibility entrusted by fate after returning to Beijing. He is quadrilingual, and had been to rural area, barracks, campus, and even places abroad. His own history of always being the first, profound knowledge in management and medical psychology, and abundant experience in business operation provided him the confidence of establishing a best-service-offering hospital for life care. In Aug. 2005, with advanced awareness and extraordinary concept, Allbright was born, which undoubtedly added young blood into the life care program of China.
