Addressing rural elder care is crucial for rural revitalization. One strategic solution is the implementation of mutual assistance elder care, a community-based care model that effectively tackles rural elder care issues. Examining the novel aspects of rural elder care, including "what it entails," "who utilizes it," "its application," and "its construction," can provide a practical framework for enhancing local elder care services and, consequently, advancing rural revitalization. It is imperative to clarify the architectural concept of rural mutual assistance elder care facilities, scrutinize the attributes of service recipients, and meticulously design, operate, and plan the functionality of these facilities and the mutual assistance they offer.
