As China faces a wave of severe population aging, public attention to the multidimensional needs of the elderly has grown exponentially. Cultural eldercare, centered on meeting spiritual needs, is emerging as a key focus for innovation in the eldercare service system and for high-quality social development. This article explores the issue of high-quality development of cultural eldercare in Heilongjiang by defining cultural eldercare and cultural eldercare services. By focusing on the cultural eldercare service needs of specific elderly groups, leveraging the application of high-tech and the allocation of cultural eldercare resources as breakthroughs, and using the correction of societal cognitive biases as a foundation, the aim is to better promote the well-being of the elderly and social stability in China, thereby building a diverse, equitable, and sustainable high-quality eldercare system in the future.
