In recent years, with the rapid development of China’s economy, the increased mobility of the population aging population, and the weakening of the family support function, the traditional concept of “supporting” have serious impact, all those make population aging has become a social focus. Caring for the elderly has been more than just a problem of a person、a family, even an important task of the government and society. Those elderly who have lost self-care ability because of old age, disease,disability and other reasons are difficult point which our country have to attention. In this paper, the "mixed welfare" theory as the perspective, combined with relevant data,to analyze the elderly long-term care service supply and demand situation, put forward to promote the balance of supply and demand of China’s long-term care recommendations.With the arrival of the aging population, the number of elderly population who lose the ability self-care continues to grow, the proportion and the elderly disability increase year by year, the potential demand of long-term care services also increase every year,and then put forward higher requirements to supply content. On the other hand, because of the reasons for the lack of ability to pay, the potential demand cannot be converted into effective demand, effective demand of the market is insufficient, effective supply quantity is relatively small, the supply content is single, all these are unable to meet the disabled elderly people increasingly rich material and spiritual needs, which result in long-term care service supply and demand imbalance. There are the main causes of the imbalance: lack of government policies, resulting in uneven development of public institutions and private institutions; changes in the structure of the family, reduce the number of family nursing supply; market supply capacity is limited; nursing service cost is relatively high; elderly people in marginal areas and institutions to receive limited capacity.For long-term care services, it is generally used in informal and formal care nursing home together. Based on our country disabled elderly long-term care service market supply and demand situation, reference with “hybrid” service supply mode can through the establishment of a "hybrid" long-term care service supply models alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand in the market. By the government, the market( institutions and community) and the family common as the supply of long-termcare services, division of labor: government policy support; domestic market and pay attention to interface, the government can provide nursing care through a series measures such as enriching community nursing service content, strengthening the nursing service organization, changing the home care service concept and so on; at the same time, we can develop multi supply, play all kinds of volunteer force, encourage disabled elderly people to actively participate in. finally increase service quantity, enrich service content, converse the recessive demand into effective demand, alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of the market.
