Abstract: China has now gradually turned the Family-related Old Age Provision into the Combined Family-related and Social Provision for the Elderly. The living environment of the elderly in nursing homes has become the hotspot of social concern. An investigation was made by visiting nursing homes for the elderly in Haikou,Hainan,China,to observe the landscapes therein,and some problems in the landscape of the nursing homes were pointed out in terms of landscape construction and functional utilization based on the references of landscape of nursing homes built in other places of China and other countries. Moreover,some suggestions for landscape construction of the nursing homes were put forward,including the activity area,plant configuration,sensory experience and infrastructure in the nursing homes,according to the special requirements of the elderly for the landscape in the nursing homes. These suggestions would provide an available reference for the future design of nursing homes in Haikou.
