近年來臺灣地區邁入高齡化社會且平均壽命延長，使得台灣老人的退休生活成為相當重要的議題。傳統大家庭已漸漸轉換為夫婦和孩子所直接組成的核心家庭模式，家庭能夠提供高齡者的照顧功能亦漸漸減弱，這讓許多人士欲尋求更高品質的安養機構，提供尊重退休後之高齡者健康生活及終身學習完整優良的人性化服務養生機構。因此本研究旨在透過質性訪談與實地觀察參與活動的方式，以雙連安養中心為個案研究對象，藉由未入住高齡者、已入住高齡者、照服員和管理者的角度，暸解退休後高齡者選擇進住安養機構的影響因素為何，使業者更能夠滿足退休後之高齡者的需求及作為其他安養機構學習的典範，藉此達到安養機構永續經營發展之目標。
Taiwan has entered into “aging society” in recent years which makes the retired life of the elderly people in Taiwan become a very crucial issue. Traditional big family has been gradually transformed into nuclear family which directly consists of parents and children. Therefore, the function of care-giving in the family is decreasing which leads people to develop nursing centers with higher quality, and to provide the retired elderly people healthy lifestyle with completely lifelong learning and humanistic service.

By this way to let the nursing centers be able to meet the needs of the retired elderly people and to achieve the sustainable management and development purpose.
