With the acceleration of China's aging population, the demand for continuing education for the elderly group is growing. With the continuous progress and rapid development of information technology, "smart elderly care model" as a new elderly care model has gradually entered the public eye, and " smart elderly care model " will help the education of the elderly in the city, but it is still facing practical difficulties such as low awareness and acceptance of the elderly, low consumption level and insufficient trust. Based on the hierarchy of needs theory, this paper investigates and analyzes the cognition and acceptance, needs and opinions of the elderly group on the "smart elderly care model" elderly education. And this paper conceives the realization path from four aspects: publicity and promotion, demand docking, operation training, and privacy and security, so as to provide support for the development and improvement of the "smart pension" elderly education-related services.
