Ji'nan pension survey
new morning newspaper reporter Mu Liangyong Liu Yanqin Ji'nan reported
one day, you suddenly found that the father and mother's forehead have added a lot of white hair. It turned out that they were already so old, but we were busy with their lives and work all day. Because of the traditional culture, family care has always been the main way of providing for the aged in our country. However, the "421" family structure created by the one-child policy is doomed to be unsustainable.
morning newspaper reporters through in-depth investigation, from the elderly, family members, nursing homes, and other aspects of the society to reveal the difficulties and puzzles of the elderly, in order to attract more social attention, and hope to explore a better solution to this problem.

the lonely and sentimental
after dinner, Pei Qinghai sat down on the sofa in the corridor. After sitting for a long time, he stood up and walked around, tired and sitting back. The old people in the apartment live like this every day. Apart from playing or lying or sitting quietly, they go everywhere. Wait for dinner, wait for sleep, wait for the next tomorrow, wait for death to come. "Get up at six o'clock and eat at the seven o'clock canteen. After dinner, the old people play mahjong or go for a walk. "Unless an elderly person has something to do, he usually has very limited time to communicate with the nursing staff," said nurse Zhang.
"just took blood pressure yesterday, high pressure 160. My son has come in the first two days, and the house charge should be paid. He left the money and went away. My son is very old, and he is very busy at home. Pei Qinghai pretended to be relieved, but there was a lonely, lonely expression and a longing for care. The flowers outside the window were dancing all over the sky, and he looked out. A plane flew past, a piercing roar streaked through the sky. Perhaps he remembered the days he used to be in the air force. Maybe he wanted to go to Jiyang's old home again.
by visiting many old apartments in the provincial capital, the morning newspaper reporter found that the old people are basically all playing each other, and the nurses are only busy with their own work, and seldom communicate with the elderly. Although most elderly people are comfortable and comfortable in their apartments, they often feel lonely. As Pei Qinghai said, "the pension is enough, the apartment life is good, but sometimes it suddenly feels lonely, especially when the lights are turned off at night. Although all the fish that I used to have died, the fish tanks were also given to others, but I still wanted to raise something, just to have a companion. "
summer Dean's heart has a lack of residual strength and helplessness
recently, the morning newspaper reporter found this kind of private old apartment, near the village of Ding Jia Zhuang, in the city of hi-tech district.
a fairly wide yard, with three rows of buildings in the north. The first floor is a male, and the second is a woman. Inside the building, the first thing to see is an old people's activity room with a color TV. Two old people are sitting in front of the TV watching with relish. Each room is about twenty square feet, and three beds are very crowded inside. The old men looked at the door one by one, many of them sick. The reporter chatted with one of the old men. The old man had a few ears and could not hear clearly. The reporter did not ask any more questions.
it is understood that the elderly living in this old apartment are basically old people, and their lives are not much, and most of them need 24 hours of care. By talking with Xia chief, head of the apartment for the elderly, the Morning Post reporter learned that she had difficulty in running the apartment for the elderly. "Although our conditions and facilities are not very good, we are still working hard, hoping to make the elderly comfortable. Sometimes the heart has a lack of energy, for example, there is no independent toilet in every floor of the building, and the old man needs all the nursing staff to wait for the stairs to go down the stairs when the old man needs to be convenient. Another problem facing the apartment is the shortage of nursing staff. Although the treatment is good, it is still difficult to recruit an excellent nurse. Xia Dean is also very old. Due to the lack of nursing staff, the nursing and apartment management of more than 70 elderly people in the hospital has brought tremendous pressure to her. "Our house is rented, and water and electricity are charged by commercial lighting. Originally, the pension business is beneficial to the public welfare undertakings of the society, and we are not in order to make profits. Why should we charge for commercial electricity? Does not mean that the pension agency heating charges enjoy preferential treatment? Dean Xia was puzzled.
Where are you going to spend your old age?
data from the morning newspaper reporter from the Ji'nan Aging office shows that by the end of 2010, the number of elderly people over 60 in Ji'nan will break through 1 million for the first time, accounting for 16.3% of the total population of Ji'nan. However, the old age service facilities in Ji'nan lag behind the development of population aging. 09 years data show that at present, there are 193 elderly residential care institutions in Ji'nan (57 of them are private pension institutions). There are 63 elderly apartments, 46 older homes, 82 aged homes, 2 social welfare homes, 20685 total beds and 9848 elderly people in 09 years, accounting for 1.1% of the total population of Ji'nan. It is understood that at present, there is not a large urban pension service center in Ji'nan, which makes the situation of population aging increasingly grim.
with these data, the morning paper reporter visited several pension institutions again. First of all, I interviewed the elderly apartment in the public flyover area of Tianqiao District Civil Affairs Bureau. The elderly apartment in Tianqiao area is about 2400 square meters and 150 beds, which integrates health care, medical treatment, rehabilitation and day care. The price of apartment rooms is 1300 yuan per month, 1100 yuan / month for double rooms, 1000 yuan per month and 900 yuan per month between four people. There are air conditioning, color TV, telephone, heating and special activity rooms. In addition, there are also regular out-patient clinics for the elderly. According to the young people who graduated from the Shandong Morden Vocational College, "the outpatient for the elderly to measure blood pressure is generally a Monday times, there is a history of medical history, according to the requirements of the elderly to measure, the heart and blood sugar generally one month examination, small diseases such as cold fever, out-patient can be cured, the disease generally go to Tianqiao hospital."
the next reporter interviewed Mr. Li, the head of the apartment. According to Director Li, the oldest man in the apartment was 101, the youngest more than 80. There are over 20 nursing staff in the apartment, consisting of graduates and laid-off workers in Ji'nan. The characteristic of this apartment for the elderly is "day care for the elderly", that is, the old people "go home in the daytime and go home in the evening". Director Li said, "with the development of society and the progress of the times, the concept of family support will gradually change, and apartment endowment will become the choice of more and more people. We will always adhere to the principle of "high hardware and software, low fees" and wholeheartedly serve the work of the elderly.
reporter met Mr. Wang, who came here to see his father in his apartment. The reporter then asked about the situation here. Mr. Wang said, "the elderly apartment in the Tianqiao District has the warmth of home. It is more convenient than home. The old man is here and there is nothing to worry about. The old man is happy here. We are quite relieved."
next, the morning newspaper reporter came to the Ji'nan sunset red old apartment in jelu road. In the bright yard, the old people were playing chess, some played mahjong, some were napping, some were laughing and laughing.
because the head of the apartment is not in, the morning paper reporter interviewed Aunt Zhang. According to her introduction, the apartment now has 80 beds, occupying 70 elderly people, 20 men and 50 women, the oldest 97 years old, the youngest 45 years old. A total of 17 nursing staff were basically laid off workers. The standard of charge for apartments is: 800 yuan per month, half nursing 900 yuan / month, total nursing 1100 yuan / month. Winter heat, summer fan. There are single rooms, double rooms and triple rooms. "Private old age apartments do not do well, now prices are so high, spending a lot. It's difficult to maintain the operation because of low fees. Aunt Zhang said.
"pour the urinal to the old man every morning, call up at 6:30, and fetch water for the elderly. At 7:00, some of the old men got up early and went out for free. Lunch starts at 8:00. Every day, the boss goes shopping in person, with a reasonable variety of meals. At the end of the week, the food was almost no weight. During the new year, many elderly people do not want to go home, because no one at home takes care of them, no one talks with them and feels lonely. The old people share a common language and are willing to stay here. " Aunt Zhang said.
morning newspaper reporter asked her to take care of so many old people. She said she felt tired at the beginning, but she got used to it. "Old people are like children. They have to coax and talk to them. Care for the elderly, a good attitude plays a key role. As long as we love old people, we do not feel tired for the sake of the elderly, so we can do well in nursing work.
morning newspaper reporter met Choi Tai, who retired from the Ji'nan Public Transport Corporation to stay alone in sunset apartment in sunset red apartment for the elderly. Cui uncle is 62 years old. He lives near a store. He is talkative and loves to laugh and has a good attitude. In the early years, Mr. Cui changed his job from a certain part of the Shenyang military region. His son is currently working in Ji'nan. "The children are too busy. The four old people really can't take care of it. I'll lighten the burden on him and take care of himself.
through interviews with some people, reporters found that many young people did not want to send their parents to old age apartments for retirement. 61.8% of the people chose to take care of their parents at home, more or less concerned about the environment and service of the pension institution, according to the data from the authority. Even without worries, they still feel that sending their parents to the pension institutions is not filial piety. "Parents have worked hard all their lives, and now they are old. We should repay their kindness and take good care of them with them. This responsibility is irreplaceable." Mr. Lin told the morning newspaper reporter.
but the interview from the elderly apartment in Tianqiao District is not difficult to see. If there are no conditions for the elderly to live in the old age, the elderly can still feel the warmth of their home in the old-age apartment which pays attention to the family and humanized service.
diversified pension -
must face the current situation of severe aging. What should we do? The reporter consulted relevant information and consulted Liu Huaian, director of Ji'nan Aging office. Director Liu pointed out that home care for the aged is a traditional way of providing for the aged. In a fairly long period of time, the relatively common way of providing for the aged in China will still be home care for the aged. On the basis of living in the home, it is the inevitable choice and outlet to alleviate the problem of aging in our country by developing social endowment and combining the two and giving full play to their respective advantages.
in addition to the "421" family structure problem, it is a feasible way to develop community endowment and establish more pension institutions. Community support for the aged is based on the community and family as the unit. It serves the family through integrating social resources and aggregating social forces. It is low cost and is in line with the traditional old-age psychology of the elderly in our country. It does not leave home, but also can get professional nursing. It is easy to be accepted by the elderly and their families. It should be the direction for the development of the elderly.
