Are community pensions and family pensions the same thing? Why does the state vigorously develop community pension services?

With the intensification of population aging, the family structure of the mainland population tends to be miniaturized, the 421 family structure leads to the weakening of the family pension function, the existence of empty nest elderly and orphaned elderly, the in-depth discussion of the social pension problem, and the pension model is constantly changing and upgrading.

In order to improve the living standards of the elderly at home and reduce the burden on the family, the kind of home-feeding pension that has lasted for thousands of years has changed, and the pension method is slowly moving towards socialization.

At present, the main ways of providing for the elderly in the mainland are home care, community pension and institutional pension, of which home care is still the mainstream. Under the desire of most elderly people to "leave home for the elderly", the community will also become an important scene of "Chinese-style pension" in the future.

Relying on the community, improving the ability of the community to provide for the elderly at home, and establishing a community-based home care method is the development direction of the sound socialized pension system, and has become an inevitable choice for the elderly in mainland cities. In terms of policy, the state has also been advocating the implementation of "home-based pension, community pension as the basis, and institutional pension as a supplement" to the actual place.

Are community pensions and family pensions the same thing?

Community old-age care refers to a home care service system with the family as the core, the community as the support, the elderly day care, life care, housekeeping services and spiritual comfort as the main content, the door service and the community day care as the main form, and the introduction of professional service methods of the elderly care institutions.

Community pension is not family pension, but the community in the home pension, community pension is not social pension, but the institutional pension service into the community, the implementation of the community at home pension. It absorbs the advantages and operability of family pension and social pension method, and concentrates the best combination point of family pension and institutional pension in the community.

What services can community pensions provide?

It is equivalent to taking care of our parents when we go to work, so that the elderly will not leave home to go back to a strange place to familiarize themselves with the new environment and new friends, and the elderly can also get professional care at the doorstep.

Disadvantages of community pension

1. Compared with home care, community pension provides a self-service service. It is good to have door-to-door service, but at present, most of the management funds of mainland communities are invested by civil affairs departments, and the government's operating costs are relatively high, and there are more difficulties to be overcome in the mobilization of social resources and non-governmental forces.

2. The degree of aging is deepening, there will inevitably be more and more elderly people in the future, there will be a shortage of service facilities, the labor cost of community service personnel is high, the manpower is insufficient, and the degree of professionalism is low.

3. The service situation of the elderly care community varies from place to place, and the efficiency of the community home service staff is low compared with the centralized old-age service of the elderly care institutions.

From home care, community pension to institutional pension, the continuous updating of the pension model not only reflects the society's concern for the pension problem, but also reflects people's planning and vision for the life of the elderly.

Community pension is also valued by the state, communities, pension institutions and pension practitioners, and gives strong support in manpower, funds and policies in building a community home care system for the elderly. Nowadays, more and more urban communities have established service centers for the elderly, providing the elderly with daily home cleaning and care, emotional comfort (chatting with the elderly, walking, having fun), rehabilitation and physiotherapy and other sound services. The implementation of long-term care insurance for the elderly, the combination of medical and nursing care, the construction of intelligent home care, etc., have brought great convenience to the elderly in the community.

The elderly consultant believes that community pension can not only reduce the burden of social pension, but also improve the quality of life of the elderly in their old age, meet the desire of the elderly to retire nearby, and reduce their loneliness. With the improvement of community construction and management in various places, it is believed that more and more residents can choose community pension. Of course, the elderly choose what kind of pension method to choose from their own physical conditions, personal will and economic ability, comprehensive consideration, after all, suitable for their own is the best!
