“…The relationship between the spatial compositions of smallscale care multifunctional facilities and how senior citizens spend their time in such facilities were investigated (Imura et al, 2008). Moreover, potential methods of converting residence in old communities to small-scale multifunctional care facilities in China were explored (Hu et al, 2018). Regional differences in the management modality and nursing needs of these facilities were also examined (Yamada and Satoh, 2008).…”

Purpose This study aims to identify senior citizens’ requirements related to “embedded retirement facilities (ERFs)”, which are small-scale, multi-functional and community-based care facilities for senior citizens in mainland China, and to discuss whether senior citizens’ perceptions are influenced by their backgrounds. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire type of research was administrated to gain senior citizens’ rankings of services that should be provided by ERFs. Non-parametric statistical models were applied to analyse the collected data. Findings Results reveal that health care services for senior citizens are considered the most important. Requirements regarding rehabilitation and entertainment and daily life assistance are ranked second and third, respectively. Culture-related activities are the least important. Differences in the senior citizens’ background also influence their choices. Research limitations/implications This research is based on a questionnaire survey completed in northeast China. Opinions from other areas of mainland China will be collected in the future study. Furthermore, the key items identified in this research, which was completed by participants from the built environment discipline, can be further elaborated by combining interdisciplinary feedback. Practical implications This study explores services that are supposedly provided by ERFs. Findings will provide useful perceptions from senior citizens and will enable decision makers to prioritise services for senior citizens. Social implications Although senior citizens are the end users of ERFs, their needs are easily overlooked. This study calls attention to their needs from ERFs, and the results are likely to serve as references for stakeholders in building improved facilities. Originality/value ERFs have been provided in mainland China to cater to senior citizens’ needs since 2014. However, few studies have identified senior citizens’ requirements for provided services. The survey-based results of this work will serve as references for various stakeholders in making enhanced decisions.

The aging of the population is accelerating. In China, the relationship between the differences in aged care and medical resources is being explored, but there is a lack of research on the aged care and medical needs of older people in the community and the functional space of aged care institutions. In this paper, questionnaires, interviews and observations were conducted with older adults over 60 years of age in a small urban community. Statistical methods were used to analyze their real needs in terms of living and health requirements. The results showed that 1) The number of members in the whole family was significantly associated with the choice of home care model. 2) There was a high demand for day care, emergency stations and home services among the seniors in the community. 3) Watching television, drinking tea, and growing vegetables and flowers were the most popular activities among the seniors. 4) There was a high demand for nursing services, medical services and medical equipment among the seniors in the community. Conclusion. Family service station, ornamental room, tea room, vegetable garden and healthy green environment should be the most basic functional spaces. Professional medical places for the seniors should be provided in the community.
