"The old mother is old, inconvenient activities, can not go out, every day to watch TV, relieve boredom." "Compared with the previous wooden bed, the functions of the smart nursing bed can be operated with one button. Now it is very convenient for the elderly to sleep on their side or on their body," Zheng said.

In September last year, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Shushan District of Hefei issued the Pilot Plan for the Construction of Family Nursing Beds in Shushan District, which specified that all towns, streets and Shushan Economic Development zones within the jurisdiction should actively establish pilot programs for the intelligent elderly care. Relying on qualified nursing service institutions, professional nursing care services should be extended to families and the intelligent level of home nursing care should be improved.

"This service target is the elderly families with financial difficulties who have lived in this district for a long time and have been assessed as disabled or partially disabled at the age of 60. The elderly families with financial difficulties such as subsistence allowance and marginal subsistence allowance are preferentially included. At the same time, they should ask their families for permission and apply voluntarily. Wang Ying, chief of the elderly care Service section of the Shushan Civil Affairs Bureau, said, "The funds for the construction of family nursing beds will be fully guaranteed by the government, and the construction will be carried out according to the standard of 5,000 yuan per family."

"Wang Ying said.

"The biggest problem was feeding my mother three meals a day. On the wooden bed, I would support her back with one hand and feed her with the other. If I were not careful, the old woman would lie down again, which would be time-consuming and laborious, and the effect would not be good." Zheng Shengzhou told reporters that with smart devices, the Angle of the bed can be controlled at any time, so that he can feed himself and his mother can eat comfortably.

At the Shushan District Intelligent elderly care Service Guidance Center, a huge electronic screen covers the entire wall, displaying real-time information about home-based elderly care workers.

"High 159, low 97, blood pressure level: mild..." A message pops up on the screen. It turned out that Zheng Shengzhou measured his mother's blood pressure with a smart blood pressure monitor at home. Within one minute after finishing the measurement, the data was directly transmitted to the management platform of the service guidance center. "Through this management platform, we can monitor the blood pressure of the elderly in real time, and the elderly's families can also grasp the relevant data through the small program on the mobile phone, if there is an anomaly, convenient timely treatment." Service guidance center operation director Zhang Dejian said. Up to now, the Shushan District has renovated the home physical environment and installed intelligent products and equipment for 919 disabled or semi-disabled elderly people with financial difficulties, easing the care burden of elderly family members.

Qujing City has 860,000 elderly people over 60 years old, accounting for 14.92% of the city's permanent population. In order to better develop elderly care services, the Regulations on the Promotion of Elderly Care Services of Qujing City came into effect in January this year, proposing to improve the elderly care service system based on home, supported by community, fully developed institutions and combined with medical care. He Yachun, chief of the elderly care Service and Child Welfare Department of Qujing Civil Affairs Bureau, said that in 2021, Qujing invested 990,000 yuan to renovate 330 households to adapt their homes for aging, mainly serving the elderly with special difficulties and the elderly, disabled and disabled among the urban and rural subsistence allowances. "This year, we have invested 2.7 million yuan to renovate 900 homes for aging, so that more elderly people can enjoy the warm heart policies of the Party and the government." "He Yachun said.

In Qilin District Jianning Street Station Community home care Service Center, a main topic of "What to eat" discussion is busy.

The moderator of the discussion was Tao Ni, head of Jianning Hongkang Pension Service Center, a professional pension service institution introduced by the station community. She told the reporter that the center will hold such a food discussion once a month, according to the taste of the elderly customized recipes, so that the elderly eat comfortable.

"Considering that some elderly people are not able to move, we deliver meals to their homes free of charge, providing two meals at noon and at night. Now there are more than 50 elderly people who deliver meals steadily." Tawni said that in addition to providing on-site meal assistance, the center also has professionals who provide on-site living, health care, bath assistance and other care services.

"Door-to-door service is new to some seniors, and some worry about the high fees." Liu Baomei, deputy director of the Qilin district civil affairs bureau, said that in order to ease the concerns of the elderly, the government will provide financial subsidies when introducing social care institutions into the community, reducing the cost of providing home services for the elderly.

Taking Jianning Hongkang Elderly care Service Center as an example, the station community introduced Jianning Hongkang elderly care service Center to build community home care service center. The community rented the idle space of the office building to the enterprise at a price lower than the market price. The district Civil affairs Bureau also gave the enterprise a one-time subsidy of 100,000 yuan when building the elderly happiness table, which greatly reduced the operation cost of the enterprise.

"Our meals range from 6 yuan to 12 yuan, with two meat dishes, two vegetables and one soup. There are also discounts for the elderly living on extreme poverty and subsistence allowances." "Tawney said. In addition to meeting the daily needs of the elderly, Jianning Street also gives priority to the establishment of "doorstep" convenience service points in the residential areas where most elderly people live. Staff are dispatched to the service points at fixed times every week to handle medical insurance and subsistence allowances for the elderly, and provide free physical examination and consultation services.

"In the next step, we will further develop diversified home-based care services based on the community, and build 'nursing homes' without walls, so that the elderly can enjoy a happy old age at home." Said Zhou Chengshun, deputy director of Qujing's civil affairs bureau.

Strengthen supervision to ensure quality training and strengthen nursing staff

Windows bright and clean, cleaners, rags and other tools in the corner. Near noon, at the home of Li Xiuling, a 67-year-old woman living alone in Jichai Community, Erdao District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, Jia Guiqin, a staff member of a pension service company, just finished her busy work and showed the comparison to the reporter. "You see, the glass was covered with rain spots before, but this is wiped, so it is much cleaner."

According to the different needs of the elderly, a list of services is divided into more than 30 items, such as housekeeping services, life care and spiritual care.

"Cooking, cleaning, fixing the plumbing, it doesn't cost a dime now, it's a phone call." Li Xiuling said, while expertly took Jia Guiqin mobile phone, press "satisfied". In order to ensure service quality, Changchun built an online supervision platform for elderly care services in 2018. "After the work is finished, the length of the content, before and after comparison, the evaluation of the elderly must be uploaded and approved before the money is paid." Jia Guiqin quickly put away the tools, then wipe the ground.

It is understood that at present, older service staff like Sister Jia is still the mainstream. Since 2021, Jilin Province has started to hold vocational skills competitions and online nursing skills training for elderly care workers. "We hope to attract more young and professional caregivers to join the home-based nursing services through these attempts." Jilin Provincial Civil Affairs Department pension service deputy director Yu Jingmin said.

"In addition to relying on third-party institutions, we should also rely on the community to provide home-based care services." Yu Jingmin said.

By August of this year, Jilin Province had collected information from 417,800 senior citizens and conducted 561,800 visits to care for them.

"In the next step, in addition to expanding the original range of services, we will also carry out the construction of family nursing beds, training of disabled elderly family caregivers, and comprehensive assessment of elderly people's abilities, so as to better respond to residents' expectations of providing care for their elderly."
