With the acceleration of aging process and the change in disease spectrum，the demand for health services of the elderly is increasing，and the requirements of service quality is also constantly increasing. However，there are several problems in the China’s elderly healthcare system，including：lack of top-level design and fragmentation of policies；the overall supply of elderly care services and resources are inadequate and insufficiently utilized；unbalenced supply and demand on the elderly-specified products as well as the long-term care system is yet to be established. In order to actively cope with the aging situation and promote healthy aging，the following suggestions are proposed：top-level design，strengthening social security for the elderly；vigorously developing community-based elderly healthcare services；establishing multi-sectoral joint elderly services system；improving the team of care professionals；actively exploring and establishing a sound long-term care system.
