City uneven and nursing home, there are private nursing home more than a year didn't come to the new old man

One afternoon in early November, the reporter comes to kunming ShouKang elderly apartment. Company has been operating for more than 17 years of private nursing home is located in the urban area of a property room neighborhood. Nursing home scale is not large, rented a single-family courtyard in the neighbourhood, supplemented by simple repair, has more than 40 beds.

"Arrowhead meat, little melon, big cabbage soup..." At a glance into the yard of the nursing home, can see the writing on the blackboard menu and the name of the nurse on duty that day. The old people sit in the 332 s two chat on the first floor of the hall.

Nursing home is not big, total control of the 32-bit old man. On the first floor of the courtyard and were separated into the crowded little room on the second floor, after some room to put down two beds, it's just a very narrow corridor, can only hold one side through.

"I'm here from ChengJin on one hand, the old man's children visit up more convenient, cheaper on the other hand, most people can afford it, so now the occupancy managed to remain operational." Speaking of business situation, ShouKang steel some helpless elderly apartment laurel, head of the day, "but we have no more than a year to receive the new old man."

According to guangxi days steel, kunming private nursing home living environment is not optimistic at present. He told reporters that in the area next to a 120 private nursing home, now just also received more than 30 old man, only have a large number of vacant beds.

"We here space is small, the infrastructure construction is not very perfect, the old people live in, the place where we provide only enough they watch TV, play mahjong too. As there is business social welfare institute, the venue of the activity is very big, also equipped with a special doctor, want to go to the old man is a lot." Guangxi days steel said.

The orphanage in guangxi days steel mouth is kunming social welfare homes, under a welfare hospital, for the elderly leisure exercise garden, playground, condition is better than the ordinary private nursing home a lot.

Tighten standards, making it harder for ordinary old man stay in public welfare institution. "Based on our analysis of the pension market, healthy elderly endowment way should be based on the community, give priority to with family endowment." Li Hongyou said.

Live rural elderly, the infirm, empty nesters want to live, lives

Unlike city, 378 km from kunming border town maguan county, wenshan zhuang and miao minority autonomous prefecture and facing different endowment.

Maguan county XiaoBaZi nursing home is the first in the county town with complete facilities of the nursing home, is the only involved to wenshan side nursing home. The practical nursing home has 24 beds, existing in 11 of supporting the old man. XiaoBaZi town mayor MoJianDong said: "the concept of rural family endowment is very heavy, let all the infirm concentrated feed up with difficulty. Concentrated feed and rural family endowment on the habits and customs is different, it's very difficult for some rural elderly adaptation. We also went to mobilize, but some supporting old man unless the body cannot provide for oneself, or you won't to the nursing home to live."

Maguan county is located in the border area, is a state-level counties. At present, XiaoBaZi town relies mainly on the check in nursing home staff supporting subsidies and low income and some of the financial support to operation, and this leads to a nursing home cannot be open to all the old man.

In XiaoBaZi town, a lot of young people go out to work, early in the rural empty nest old man more and more, this part of the old man's endowment become a very serious problem. XiaoBaZi town youth generation of crystal, director of the social affairs office, told reporters that they often encounter some of supporting empty-nesters to seek help, hope to be able to live in the town of the nursing home.

"We now have part of the bed empty." Blue crystal, "but now the whole town is the old man over the age of 60, more than 1000 people, once open standards, endowment resources gap is very big."

We encourage the body take care of the old house, of course, we also hope to be able to strive for more financial input, provide more possibilities for the old people's endowment."

The lack of professional nursing staff, 89 - year - old oneself give oneself an injection

A 89 - year - old Chen Zhen before check-in ShouKang elderly apartment, has been in two nursing homes. The old man with diabetes, before retirement in the centers for disease control and prevention work. Reporters saw her, she is insulin injection for himself.

"Now, it is extremely difficult to want to find a good nursing home." Old man has been in the suburbs in a basic condition good nursing home, "but there's extremely irresponsible, no one at night, the house next door of the old man in the middle of the sick, can't find people call, frighten I hurriedly moved out."

"Now the local infrastructure, though poor, but care is responsible for." Chen Zhen said, "conditional word, I still want to go home, or change a better nursing home."

"Those who are nursing home facilities are not complete, and miscellaneous, looks very dirty, I am sure won't go." At home endowment big ye tang of the attitude to nursing homes are determined.

The idea of "the Chinese are still very traditional, this generation, especially my father speak 'support'. The nursing home condition and it really is not very good, in the past, we sent him to be scold, we don't trust myself." His son, tang said.

Kunming wuhua 闫洁, director of the office on aging, imperfect infrastructure, the management system is not sound, the lack of professional nursing staff, and so on and so forth in many nursing homes.

"Old old people, how many will be some chronic diseases, the old medical problems many nursing homes are unbearable." 闫洁 said, because of the cost of the human, a lot of nursing home please care are rural, lack of professional nursing knowledge, can only make a simple care for the elderly. Nursing home fees and some good conditions on the high side, ordinary working class cannot afford. "Poor condition good can't afford to live, don't want to live. This is the old people to choose when facing the present situation of the nursing home".

And there are conditions for professional care of welfare homes also faced with problems. "D keep fusion is one of the trend of the development of the endowment patterns in the future, but now we from personnel of course of treatment is too low, this year we are recruiting affiliated hospital doctors 9 people, 6 people for the exam, only to 1 person. Professional talent gap is too big." Li Hongyou said.

"To combine family endowment and community endowment, not only to build nursing homes is called develop pension programs." 闫洁 visit once more, learning experience, around her with reporters around some of the advanced practice, introduces the "some place in the community set up pension center, each community has helpage. These helpage regularly door-to-door service for the old man in the community. We are now trying to rely on community, building the old people's day care center."

Though, "said pension industry is a sunrise industry, but to really meet the demand of current endowment, built a nursing home alone, increase the beds, foster care is not enough, only innovative endowment patterns of a variety of forms, can meet the demand of the current market." 闫洁 said.
