reporters interviewed the Wu Jun old man who lived in Qinhuangdao, Hebei. The reporter understands that he is 86 years old this year, and several sons are abroad. But because the old man can not adapt to the life abroad, he has always insisted on living alone.
the old man of the army said, "come back, I said, no, I'm not used to living there. Of course, the traffic is convenient and the environment is good. It's really good, but eating, communication, and language are not so common."
it is understood that in the spare time, the old men in the army have to write and write their own life and make their life colorful. But because of working relationships, children can't come back every year. Old people can't use computers, so telephone is the only way to contact them. In recent years, the ears of the elderly have begun to fail, and telephone communication has become less smooth. "
the old man in Qinhuangdao's cousin, Gong Lei, told reporters," after all, the age is big. One day you say a sudden disease, in fact, it is very worried, the old people have told us some time, they are actually very lonely. "

If at night, because the service center is in the community, we can also come to the scene for the first time. . In fact, it is equivalent to an old age nursery. The effect is very good through trial. We are ready to implement it vigorously in the whole city.
apart from the "home care service center", many communities have launched many activities to serve the elderly living alone. The "knock - knocking" service in the oil - shop community is very distinctive. Every day the community arranges staff to knock on the door in the community to see if anyone responders. In addition, a volunteer service team for the elderly living alone has been set up to solve the various needs of the elderly. "
