Abstract: Employing the data from "The survey on demands of the elderly for ageing support services in Xicheng District"of Beijing,this study adopted the Anderson Model as the analytical framework. We introduced community variables into the model,and explored the intention to institutional care and predict factors of elderly with and without ADL disability respectively. The Logistic Regression Model has been used for analysis,the tendency and enabling factors,as well as demand and community variables have been put into the model. The regression results indicated that those four kinds of factors are significantly associated with the intention to institutional care of the elderly without ADL disability. However,for the elderly with ADL disability,their intentions are highly related to tendency and enabling factors as well as demands for services. Based on the results from the analysis,recommendations and suggestions for families,communities and government,have been put forward to improve the social aging services support system.
