The accelerated development of an aging society has led to a growing demand for age-friendly residences. This paper aims to explore the spatial layout and facility configuration of age-friendly residences to enhance the safety, convenience, and comfort of the elderly's living environment. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and in-depth research on the living needs of the elderly, the main problems in the current design of age-friendly residences are identified, and targeted design suggestions are put forward. Reasonable spatial planning and humanized facility configuration are crucial for improving the quality of life of the elderly. The importance of interdisciplinary cooperation is emphasized to promote the development of age-friendly residences and meet the increasing needs of the elderly population.
