As early as 1990s, China has entered an aging society. In 2014, the Chinese population of people of 60 years or more is 210 millions, which accounts for 15.5% of the total Chinese population. While the aging is developing fast, the features of low-level economic society, imperfect social security, low-level social welfare, growing old before getting wealthy, growing old before getting ready, and ending up alone are quite prominent, and thus the social supporting for the aged faces arduous tasks. Nowadays, the main pattern of supporting for the aged in China is still family supporting. It brings to a family a heavy burden because the children and relatives provide support for the aged. The governments are prone to support the aged by institutions, owing to the consideration of administrative achievement, appraisal, etc. However, the service scope thereof is narrow and the service effect thereof is poor, owing to the heavy financial burden. How to choose a way to support the aged, which is suitable for local situations, gradually becomes a hotspot intensely focused by the society. The pattern of Community Home Care conforms to the traditional supporting custom of the aged, has low operation cost, is capable of sufficiently exploring the original community resources, and thus has been widely recognized by the society. However, it faces the problems of low financial investment, low awareness degree, lack of experts, etc. How to solve these problems and improve the service system of Community Home Care is a topic worthy investigating intensively.Based on the theoretical basis of Community Home Care, the thesis analyses the practical supporting pattern choice and the status of Community Home Care in Heze, summarizes the experiences and the reflections therein, and propose constructive suggestions for exploring of the elderly home care pattern in communities in China.There are five chapters in this thesis.
