Abstract
In recent years, China’s aging population has become an increasingly serious issue, bringing profound impacts to society. Social isolation among urban elderly individuals has become more prominent, significantly affecting their quality of life and mental and physical health. In addressing population aging, a pressing challenge is to alleviate and ultimately eliminate social isolation among urban elderly, improving the situation where older adults feel isolated and excluded from society. Against this backdrop, this paper proposes innovative social work intervention approaches based on the latest elder care policy directions, aiming to promote healthy aging and the development of age-friendly societies.
