This paper employs the Andersen's Behavioral Model as the theoretical framework to ana- lyze the determinants of utilization of formal long-term care service ( including the home/community- based LTC and institution-based LTC) using the dataset of CLHLS 2014 in China. The logistic regressions show that the enabling and need but not the predisposing factors are significant determinants of formal LTC use in China. The Paper further argues that the long-term care service utilization in the Chinese context is subject to the social-culture environment，the importance of which is highlighted. In addition，we have modified the Andersen's Model for LTC use by adding the willingness of family caregivers as the cultural factors based on the Chinese socioeconomic situation. The paper concludes with discussions on the as- sessment of LTC，the capability development of family，and the future trends of community-based service.
