Abstract

To build an elderly friendly community that can actively respond to aging and meet the diverse needs of the elderly, it is necessary to have a livable community living environment during construction, which can meet the requirements of full social participation of the elderly and high-quality community services. At present, the construction of elderly friendly communities in China faces certain difficulties in terms of funding for aging friendly renovation, social participation of the elderly, and services. As professionals who are compatible with the construction of elderly friendly communities, social workers should actively apply professional theoretical knowledge and skills, intervene in the construction of elderly friendly communities through various optimization paths and the play of different functions and roles, promote problem solving, and improve the construction of elderly friendly communities.
