With the accelerated aging of the Chinese population, the active development of aging has become an important issue of concern for the government. Entering old age, both psychologically and physiologically, will undergo significant transformations. Using social support theory to study community elderly services, it is found that communities can enhance the substitution of formal social support systems for informal social support systems in providing elderly services, communities can increase the initiative of older adults to seek social support, and communities can collaborate multiple forces of social support. It also proposes countermeasures to enrich social support and network members, integrate social support network resources, provide multi-level social support, and improve the professionalism of community work so that the role of community social support can be better played.
