Abstract

Against the backdrop of an increasingly rapid aging population, the mental health and quality of life of the elderly have become a focus of social attention, and the traditional nursing home model needs to be revitalized in various aspects. Therefore, this study employs quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, utilizing CiteSpace 6.4 R1 literature visualization software to systematically review relevant literature in the nursing home field. Taking WOS data from 2000 to 2025 as an example, it analyzes the research hotspots of new nursing homes. Furthermore, it proposes a new nursing home model adapted to the future elderly using restorative environment theory. The study found that keyword clustering indicates that mental health-oriented environmental design has become a research focus in the nursing home field. Time trend analysis reveals that research from 2000 to 2025 can be divided into three segments. Finally, combining restorative environment theory, a new nursing home model is proposed, namely, a combination of a natural healing environment and an intelligent care system. Therefore, the planning, design, and operation management of future nursing homes should actively draw on the integrated mind-body care model, and the government needs to pay more attention to community-integrated elderly care, while society needs to invest more in social support to promote intergenerational integration.
