Abstract
The All-Age Community Model is an innovative elderly care approach that prioritizes residents of all ages while addressing seniors’ needs. It emphasizes the integration of intergenerational harmony and sustainable community development, catering to both physical and psychological requirements. Currently, there is a lack of systematic evaluation frameworks for implementing this model in aging communities. To bridge this gap, this study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to refine evaluation criteria and indicators, establishing a comprehensive assessment system tailored for Zhanjiang's aging communities. The goal is to shift from evaluating only age-appropriateness to assessing full-age inclusivity, thereby providing a decision-making foundation for fostering intergenerational integration and creating sustainable elderly care environments.
