Abstract
With the increasing aging of China’s population, community support has become an important way to relieve the pressure of family support and improve the quality of life of the elderly in their later years. Under this background, the “five-society linkage” model as an innovative community governance model provides a new idea for community old-age. The linkage of the five social groups is the cooperation between the community, social organizations, social workers, social charity funds and community volunteers. Based on the successful practice of X community’s social work participation in community elderly care under the five-social linkage model, this paper reveals the important role of the five-social linkage model in community elderly care, and puts forward suggestions for further optimization.
