The study extends existing research on ageing and community care by integrating both subjective experiences and objective indicators of social isolation within a single analytical framework. By combining qualitative and quantitative evidence, it provides a more comprehensive understanding of how community-based elderly care services influence the social well-being of older adults. The findings also highlight the importance of considering both structural factors, such as service accessibility and programme design, and individual factors, including motivation and confidence in participation. These insights contribute to current debates on the development of sustainable community care systems and offer practical guidance for policymakers seeking to improve service delivery and social inclusion among ageing populations in rapidly urbanising contexts.
