Beijing will create a special nursing home to care for senior citizens who lost their only child and will provide targeted services for them that researchers said should take their emotional feelings into consideration.

The No 5 Welfare Nursing Home was chosen as a pilot project to receive those seniors who become childless after their only child died because of disease or accident, the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau said on Saturday.

The bureau and other departments, such as the family planning authority, have consulted experts and researchers for detailed information on the living conditions and services the special seniors group would require, according to a Beijing Times' report on Sunday.
