Summary of Social Service Centers for the Elderly in Anhui Province

Serve the health of the elderly and build a happy home for the elderly. Established in May 2003, Anhui Jiashe Service Center for the Elderly is a professional institution that adapts to China's national conditions, takes root in China culture, promotes traditional virtues and undertakes social responsibilities. After nearly ten years' exploration and development, it has become the largest socialized supporting unit for the aged in Anhui Province, focusing on home-based aged care services, and has built a constantly improving aged care service center for the whole country. Adapt to China's national conditions and meet social needs. Anhui Social Home Center is a social institution that comes into being to help the elderly and provide for the aged to adapt to the national conditions of China. China is the largest developing country and the country with the largest elderly population in the world. By the end of 2008, the elderly population in China has increased to 65.438+0.69 billion, and the aging process is accelerating, with an average annual increase of nearly 65.438+0 million. The large increase of longevity elderly is the result of the continuous improvement of health level and the performance of social progress. However, China entered an aging society ahead of schedule at a low income level. The national condition of "getting old before getting rich" has brought a series of new problems to the elderly themselves, their families, society and the country, and providing for the aged has become one of the difficult problems that China must face. From the height of building a well-off society in an all-round way and building a harmonious socialist society, the party and the government actively take countermeasures and clearly put forward the goal of "providing for the old"; Adhere to government-led and social participation, and establish and improve the social pension system with China characteristics. Under the guidance of the Party and the government's policy of promoting community welfare construction and developing a community-centered service system for the elderly, the social center is close to the urgent needs of the elderly, actively carries out home-based care for the elderly, conducts systematic research and exploration on health care for the elderly, and gradually develops into a thriving health service center for the elderly with China characteristics.

Take root in China culture and carry forward scientific thoughts. Health is the eternal theme of mankind and the common desire and requirement of mankind. The service concept of social center is rooted in China culture. The profound China culture is the treasure of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, it has advocated the unity of heaven and man, and the survival of the fittest. The ancients found that the human body is a small universe, closely connected with the big universe of nature; It requires not only the harmony between man and nature, man and society, and man and man, but also the harmony of man himself, so as to maintain the external balance of nature and the internal balance of human body. There is a famous saying in Chinese medicine that "prevention before illness" ("prevention before illness" and "correction before illness"), which insists on comprehensive consideration and combination of prevention and promotes health by improving its own function. China's health culture, including the concept of "preventing diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine, is very suitable for the development of economy and society, the transformation of medical model and the health needs of the whole nation. Excavating and creating new wealth from the gold mines accumulated by ancestors, protecting China's historical culture and professional skills formed around health, and forming a strong health pillar industry and health service capacity are grand plans to benefit the people of China and even the people of the world. There are many factors that affect the health of modern people. According to the data of the World Health Organization, 60% of human health depends on the individual's lifestyle. The modern theory of keeping in good health in the world emphasizes that people's physical, psychological, social and moral health is the real health; Take smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, reasonable diet, scientific exercise and psychological balance as the "four cornerstones" of health. Some international health high-level forums have clearly put forward the concept of "giving full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing diseases and promoting human health". Guided by the service concept rooted in China culture, the Social Center adheres to and practices China's traditional health-preserving culture, combines learning and absorbing modern world health-preserving culture, publicizes scientific and correct medical knowledge, carries out health care and disease prevention work for the elderly, continuously improves the self-care awareness of the elderly, and gradually establishes scientific living habits and health-preserving concepts; At the same time, the social center itself has also become a "preventive health care" health workstation in Jiangsu Province, and has been recognized by the Professional Committee of Middle-aged and Elderly Health Care of China Medical Association.

Carry forward traditional virtues and temper team spirit. After nearly ten years of exploration and promotion, the community health center has developed from the initial primary health service model such as health consultation service to five major systems such as elderly health assistance, home service, professional pension, consumption guidance and scientific health preservation. The service content runs through the aspects of diet, nutrition, exercise, psychology, and the maintenance of traditional Chinese and western medicine, including the whole health management model of health popularization, health assessment and health intervention, which has become increasingly mature and standardized. The expansion of the health service system and the improvement of the quality of community centers are based on the growth of all the staff in community centers from practice; Thought originates from carrying forward the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly of the Chinese nation. The Social Home Center summed up the experience of "Conscience Quality and Filial Service" from the practice of helping the elderly, and returned to the practice of helping the elderly to practice, improve and upgrade; By constantly improving the quality of employees and tempering team spirit, we will play a bigger and better institutional effect. A backbone team of health consultation and whole-process management, which is composed of multidisciplinary prevention experts such as clinical medicine experts, emotion regulation experts, dietotherapy experts, exercise physiology experts and psychological counseling experts, is in the leading position of "prevention before illness". They never take drugs as the only means to solve problems, but adhere to the orientation of "nourishing but not curing, conditioning and stabilizing". A large number of family health assistants who are in close contact with the clients are the implementers of the whole process of health management. They work hard all day, just like their own children, and they are more committed to helping the elderly and protecting their physical and mental health. Hundreds of thousands of middle-aged and elderly members who have established health records in social families are at the core of the whole process of health management. They are "managed" (that is, customers) and are actually the ultimate beneficiaries of the whole health management process. They spoke highly of the whole-process health management model of the community health center, especially appreciated the practice of training employees with excellent national traditional virtues, and sincerely hoped that the community health center could better fulfill its promise and declaration of "being a good successor to the elderly" and carry forward the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly in the new era.

Be brave in taking social responsibility and building brand service. Facing the national condition of "getting old before getting rich" in China and the increasing pressure of providing for the aged, the Social Home Center takes it as its responsibility to promote the formation of a healthy and aging society. With the sincerity of sharing worries for the party and the government, doing filial piety for all the children in the world and helping the elderly in the world, carrying forward the traditional national virtues, courageously assuming social obligations and moral responsibilities, thinking about what the elderly think, being anxious about their needs and helping them, we have made the following down-to-earth and fruitful products to help the elderly.

First, health education.

According to some data, many elderly people died not from the disease itself, but from ignorance of their own health and unhealthy lifestyle. According to the current situation that the elderly generally lack scientific and health knowledge, combined with the needs of everyone's daily life, the social center has organized and carried out health education on health care and disease prevention for the elderly for many years in various forms, such as holding knowledge lectures, distributing popular science materials, and holding face-to-face interactive exchanges, and has had a healthy interaction with the elderly. The effect of health education is tested by "knowing" (understanding health knowledge), "believing" (establishing health belief) and "doing" (insisting on health action); Here "knowledge" and "faith" serve "action", and long-term action is the ultimate goal of health education.

Second, health management

Health management is to comprehensively detect, analyze, evaluate, prevent and maintain the health risk factors of healthy people, sub-healthy people and sick people. In order to better understand the health status of middle-aged and elderly people, the social center organizes health managers to go deep into the community and enter the family. On the one hand, they publicize popular science knowledge, on the other hand, they conduct health monitoring, establish "community health management files for the elderly", guide the middle-aged and elderly people to keep fit, let them know their physical condition as soon as possible, and implement the transformation from passive treatment to active management of diseases, thus saving medical resources and expenses and maintaining health. According to the health status and family conditions of the elderly, the center designs personalized and dynamic preventive health care programs, including diet, nutrition and exercise programs. And always pay attention to the situation of the elderly and modify the program in time.

Third, on-site service.

Home service is a service model tailored by social centers for the elderly. It takes the family as the core, the community as the support and the professional service as the support, which makes it possible for most elderly people to have home-based care and professional services at the same time. According to the first survey report on the way of providing for the aged of enterprise retirees released in Hefei, Anhui Province in March 2009, among the 379,000 people who participated in the survey, 90% chose to provide for the aged at home. At present, the lifestyle and concept of providing for the aged have gradually changed. 13 of the elderly choose to live separately from their children, which is becoming a development trend, forming the so-called "empty nest" phenomenon. It is in the sincere face of this social demand that the Social Home Center has organized a large number of professionally trained family health assistants to go deep into communities and families, and often take the initiative to take blood pressure, temperature and blood sugar for the elderly, carry out physical monitoring and restorative massage, spread health care knowledge in a targeted manner, provide personalized health care services, and keep in close contact with the elderly through care telephones. This combination of providing for the aged and living at home enables the elderly to get professional services without leaving home, which fully satisfies their desire to provide for the aged at home and enjoy family happiness. At present, it has become the main way of providing for the aged in the social center.

Fourth, emotional adjustment.

In today's increasingly rich material life, many elderly people are not satisfied with food and clothing, but are eager to live a more exciting and comfortable life in their later years. How to make the elderly spend their old age healthily, peacefully, fully and happily is one of the important contents of the work of helping the elderly in social centers. To this end, the Center organizes various interest groups and group activities such as Tai Ji Chuan, martial arts, mountaineering, calligraphy and painting, photography, singing, dancing, opera and instrumental music. , so as to adjust the feelings of the elderly, enrich their spiritual life, enhance their spiritual realm, solve their mental confusion, and truly face life after China's entry into WTO with an attitude of being born, thus achieving mental health. In the social center, there are various interest groups and groups carrying out activities as planned every week and every day; Jia She Jia She Love Art Troupe in Anhui Province often performs for the elderly in the center, visits health for the elderly in other places, and goes deep into some grassroots units in the urban area to perform.

Fifth, scientific health preservation.

Social Home Center is not only an active explorer of China's health-preserving cultural ideas, but also an enthusiastic practitioner of these ideas. It is the first in the province and even the whole country to build a platform for the elderly to spread Chinese health culture and implement TCM preventive health care services. The center carries out the scientific health care of "reinforcing the treatment and giving priority to stability". Generally, it does not use drug conditioning, but mainly adopts non-drug methods with Chinese medicine characteristics, including emotional adjustment, four-season health care, diet adjustment, guidance, acupuncture, massage, fumigation and pedicure. The center has purchased a large number of physiotherapy equipment and provided health care services such as acupuncture, massage, high potential physiotherapy, Tibetan fumigation and pedicure for the elderly for many years. At the same time, it has planned and organized all kinds of tourism and holiday health activities combining far and near, and has officially launched advanced ecological holiday health service. Through the social health center, a service platform for preventing health care and helping the elderly, the self-care awareness of the elderly has been continuously improved, and scientific living habits and health preservation concepts have been gradually established. Scientific health preservation meets the needs of elderly friends. At present, participating in scientific health preservation in the center has become the lifestyle and preferred way for many elderly people.

Sixth, consumer guide.

In the international community, since the 1980s, in order to improve people's quality of life, pay more attention to the relationship between diet and health, and pay more attention to healthy food, the healthy food market has become increasingly popular, and "spending money to buy health" has become a fashion. China is known as "the homology of medicine and food", and all kinds of China traditional foods with health-preserving functions are also widely favored by people, especially middle-aged and elderly consumers. However, at present, the health food market is mixed, and the elderly will be deceived if they are not careful, which will not only suffer economic losses, but also cause mental burden. Every normal old man can't live without healthy consumption, but correct healthy consumption is particularly critical. According to the principle of "nourishing instead of treating" and the concept of "homology of medicine and food", the social health center guides the elderly to correctly recognize and buy health care products, make reasonable health investment and avoid blind consumption.

Seven, making friends interaction

The standard to measure human health is physical, psychological, social and moral health. To participate in social practice, we must have social adaptability. After retirement, the old people leave their units, live in scattered places, and get rid of familiar people, so life is inevitably lonely. Through various health activities, social centers often bring old people together, providing them with an interactive platform for mutual understanding, communication, activities, happiness, friendship and love. Through this interactive platform for making friends, many old people have made new friends and gained new life experiences in their later years, thus feeling young and fashionable. The dating platform has increased the social practice and social adaptability of the elderly in their later years, and improved their physical and mental health.

VIII. Occupational annuities

At present, the Social Home Center has built a nursery in Hefei, and a professional pension institution in Anhui is under construction. The center pays special attention to the combination of various professional pension service institutions, forming a multi-party joint force, building a professional pension platform with * * * resources, and creating a new situation of socialized pension services. At present, the social center has established cooperative relations with many nursing homes. If necessary, the elderly can choose professional nursing homes of various grades suitable for them at any time according to their family and economic conditions, and enjoy professional aged care services in nursing homes.

The above-mentioned high-quality projects for supporting the elderly and providing for the elderly have been well received and sincerely welcomed by the elderly in the big family. These old people said with deep feelings: "Being with family members is health and happiness, and it is the enrichment of old age"; There is filial piety here and love here!

Please remember the brand "Social House". The purpose of the elderly health consultation service center named after "social family" is to do our best to improve the health level and quality of life of the elderly and provide sincere and filial service. In short: "social family" helps the elderly and is sincere and filial! "Social House" is right beside you! "Social House" welcomes your participation and creation!
