Abstract: Rural old people with five guarantees are the most disadvantaged group in the current aging population. The quality of life of the five guarantees for the elderly is related to the development of Chinas old-age care and people’s livelihood. Rural nursing homes, as the main way to solve the problem of the old-age pension for the five-guarantee elderly, shoulder the heavy responsibility of the grassroots. This article is based on the survey of elderly nursing homes in LY County, Shandong Province, and affirms the effectiveness of this centralized support method. It also finds that there are many problems in the operation process. The main manifestations are inadequate infrastructure construction in nursing homes, low maintenance standards, and services. Problems such as monotonous content are mainly due to narrow sources of funds, lack of professional nursing staff and management personnel, and imperfect management and operation systems for nursing home. In order to solve this dilemma, it is necessary to strengthen government functions and encourage diversified investments; strengthen the construction of professional teams; improve management and operation systems and improve service levels.

Key words: aging society, rural old people with five guarantees, centralized support, pension mode
