Abstract:The existing social endowment service system, executed on the basis of family and community and supported by institution, fails to meet the expectedstandards. The targeted group is not clearly covered, nor the core function of the system be defined. A survey about endowment service system demands of Chuzhou citizens is carried out through which a pattern is constructed that "demand=willingness×ability", the senior citizens’desire and the ability to pay endowment services. Correspondingly, for the purpose of meeting diverse and multi-levels of needs of the old, the new system focuses on nursing, takes advantage of all-sides platform of community while providing family care for the empty-nest and living-alone ones and makes institutions fully perform their functions of caring aged, disabled and partially-disabled people. And thus the social support can be aroused
