The proportion of aged population is getting higher due to the late marriage and more and more people choosing not to bear child. Therefore, the concept of elderly residence emerges and the ideas of barrier free environment design, suitability, and lifelong design become the goal in designing such community. The government responds to the phenomenon and starts to construct the elder friendly environment and residence, publishing the “Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Elderly Residence” in 2004 to promote the private participation in elderly residence. The elderly residence gradually shakes off the negative stereotype and offers secure, cozy, and health living quality for elder citizen. The study finds out that the arrangement for outdoor environment of the elderly residence should use natural elements to create the artificial view and focus on the principle of generic design, planning traffic flow from the residence to the public facility with high accessibility and setting up anti-skidding surface, deploying outdoor seats and rehabilitation equipment fitting the elderly ergonomics. The study probes into the spatial and barrier free requirements for elderly residence, simulating the on-site environment to make the arrangement, developing a beautiful health living community with high security. The study may serve as a useful reference for designer making the arrangement for elderly residence.
