With　the　significant　increase　in　global　ageing　and　its　derivative　risks,　governments　and　academic　communities　have　been　widely　concerned　with　research　on　facilities　of　combined　medical　and　nursing　care　for　the　elderly　(FCMNCE).　Using　Citespace　and　VOSviewer　bibliometric　software,　in　this　paper,　we　explore　the　evolutionary　phases,　hotspots,　and　trends　in　research　on　FCMNCE.　First,　the　concept　and　connotation　of　FCMNCE　are　clarified.　Secondly,　based　on　a　bibliometric　analysis　of　the　number　of　annual　publications,　disciplinary　distribution,　publication　sources,　and　country　distribution,　we　classify　research　on　FCMNCE　into　four　phases:　the　exploratory　phase　of　influencing　factors,　the　constructive　phase　of　combined　medical　and　nursing　care　patterns,　the　improvement　phase　of　life　quality,　and　the　synergistic　development　phase　of　science　and　technology.　Thirdly,　based　on　a　bibliometric　analysis　of　keyword　clustering,　annual　overlap,　and　burst　keywords,　the　research　hotspots　of　FCMNCE　are　identified.　Finally,　we　predicts　that　future　research　on　FCMNCE　will　be　characterized　by　the　trends　of　smart　elderly　facilities,　smart　medical　services,　and　public　health　risks.　Our　conclusion　can　help　researchers　to　understand　the　research　status　and　development　trends　of　FCMNCE　and　select　future　research　directions　based　on　their　disciplinary　background.
