The problem of population ageing aging in China is becoming increasingly more and more serious, and the demand for old-age care continues to climb. In order to understand the real needs of elderly care services and provide policy references for the development of community care services, . This this review explored the quality of life, life satisfaction, loneliness, and quality of care experienced by elderly residents in nursing homes in China. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected data from nursing homes in four cities: Xi'an, Urumqi, Jinan, and Zibo. The findings highlight significant variations in residents' experiences and provide recommendations for improving their well-being. The results show that the elderly in China's nursing homes have a good satisfactionare satisfied, and they hope that nursing homes can carry out more activities and provide personalized diets. It is suggested that human culture management mechanism mechanisms and effective communication mechanism mechanisms can be adopted adapted to meet the individual needs of the elderly residents in community nursing homes, and the whole society can participate in meeting the social needs of the elderly residents in community nursing homes, which will be conducive to improving the happiness of life of the elderly.
