Abstract: Abstract Based on the global aging background and increasing older population in big cities, this study focused on the basic social service settlement—senior caring institutions. This paper described the general types and patterns of American and Chinese elderly caring institutions. Using Beijing as a case, it generated the number, price and distribution of government/private organized institutions by districts. Result suggested there was a significant imbalances between districts. Center districts had larger older patio but less beds, while country districts had less institutions but more beds. There are also price and facility differences between government and private organized institutions. The government organized institutions generally have less scale and beds, and more affordable. Several changes should be applied to serve more demands and suggestion for future older policy also was discussed.
