Holding a group of people to support the elderly is tantamount to endless social interaction, which is too annoying. Aunt Dong, 68, mentioned holding a group to support the elderly and shook her head and sighed. She started a support group for the elderly, and she also proposed to dissolve it. What caused it?
It turns out that Aunt Dong's wife has been dead for many years, and her only son has settled abroad. Although she was asked to support the elderly in the past, she didn't want to go to a country where the language was not fluent. Nobody knows her, just like a caged bird.
But the feeling of loneliness is a little unbearable. She read the news report and said that now the elderly in some communities are beginning to "support each other", and she feels very good.
So four old sisters who get along well with the community formed a group to support the elderly. Although they are different in temperament and occasionally have some minor contradictions, the five old people are all together, which is quite good on the whole.
A year later, a sister told her that her good friend was also a lonely old man and wanted to join in. Aunt Dong felt that it was not easy for the elderly, so she joined in. But soon, other sisters also want their relatives or friends to join them. Aunt Dong doesn't want to, but she has already started and can't promise any more. People who get along well have contradictions when they live together, let alone strangers. Some people are eccentric, but Aunt Dong endures it. Some people like to gossip behind their backs, so she should coordinate.
The highest number of people holding a group to support the elderly has reached 12. Aunt Dong, the initiator of holding a group to support the elderly, is doing all kinds of dredging for the elderly every day. It's good to say that some old people not only don't thank her, but also say that she has so many things to do in a day. Aunt Dong feels too tired. This kind of holding a group to support the elderly is an endless social interaction, which also violates her original intention. She hopes that people who support the elderly will spend every day happily together, instead of intrigue. Finally, she proposed to dissolve. At present, the mode of providing for the aged in China is mainly based on home care, supplemented by community care and centralized care in nursing homes.
At present, due to the gap between China's economic development and the United States and Europe, the national financial input is limited, and most people rely on home-based care for the elderly, which takes up a lot of time and energy for their children. In this context, some communities have set up dining tables for the elderly through government subsidies at all levels, which has solved the dining problem of some elderly people.
With the further development of China's economy, the community-based pension mode and the centralized pension mode in nursing homes will be further developed. Pension should be carried out in stages to minimize dependence on children and society.
At the beginning of retirement, living at home and living abroad are the main ways of providing for the aged. In the stage of declining physical strength and energy, hourly workers can be asked to help with laundry, cooking and cleaning the room, but I don't advocate housekeeping, because it is a deformed product of the development of China, with high price, inadequate service and many disputes.
After the old body declines, you can rely on community pension and other means.
In fact, old-age care is also health care, and there are many things to raise.
