It is noted that the current trend is a natural consequence of improving the quality of life of citizens, economic growth in the country. On the other hand, one of the reasons for the increase in the number of the disabled population in the present, the author sees an erroneous demographic policy in the past, which resulted in a decrease in the number of work-ing citizens and an increase in the number of dependents for each of them. The situation is aggravated by the fact that in modern economic conditions it is almost impossible to implement the traditional model of “aging in the family”. The author sees one of the solutions to the problem of providing the necessary care for elderly citi-zens in the development of a community system of gerontological care. The article reveals the promising op-portunities of this direction in Chinese society, considers the forms of public and private participation in the pro-cess of providing care for elderly citizens. It is concluded that an ideal solution to the problem has not yet been found, and further research in this direction is required.
