Abstract: Pension mode is the comprehensive reflection of elderly women’ s needs for economic, emotional and care support. Pension modes in rural China is changing in the context of rural revitalization strategy. In the western rural areas, family pension has been the major pension mode for elderly women, but due to the transfer of rural labor and the fading of filial piety culture, the foundation of the family pension mode is under challenge. Elderly women in western rural areas tend to accept communitybased elderly care which mainly operates in two ways: community-based elderly home care, and elderly care in community utilities. The elderly care mode in community utilities is more suitable for the elderly women in western rural areas because of the professional service personnel.

Key words: rural revitalization, western rural areas, elderly women, community-based elderly care, population aging
