With the advent of rapid ageing in China, the spatial layout of care stations in elderly care facilities determines the efficient management and service of the daily behaviour of the elderly residents in the operation of the facilities. This paper summarizes the requirements of the norms and standards and the form of spatial layout of nursing stations in foreign nursing facilities, including Japan, Germany and France, by studying the design norms and standards of foreign nursing facilities and collecting a large number of case planes of foreign nursing facilities, and on this basis summarizes the correlation between each auxiliary function room and the nursing station in each case, so as to determine the advanced nursing station and auxiliary space of foreign. The design patterns and experiences of foreign advanced nursing stations and ancillary spaces are identified to provide some reference for the design and efficient operation and management of nursing stations and ancillary spaces in domestic elderly facilities.
