Due to the small number of geriatric nursing staff and their high loss rate, the professional construction of geriatric nursing team should first effectively retain the nursing staff. In this context, this paper puts forward the interpretation framework of “home”, and analyzes the construction of the symbolic space of “home” of nursing homes under Lefebvres “space theory”. Through the participant observation and depthinterview of three elderly care institutions in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, comparing the different construction processes of them in the triple space of spatial praxis, representation of space, and representational space, the paper explains the effect and significance of “home” space production on the professional team construction of geriatric nurses. The study found that the construction of belonging space and the development of multi-win space in nursing home could effectively retain the geriatric nursing staff and enhance their professional identity. At the same time, it puts forward some suggestions on the localization of commercial space in nursing homes.
