Nowadays, when it comes to the issue of old-age care, many people will invariably say that they go to a nursing home. After all, children have their own small families, two generations living together will inevitably have friction and contradictions, rather than being wronged at home, it is better to go to a nursing home to spend their old age.
Because in the eyes of many people, the nursing home not only has many like-minded peers, life is also leisurely, everyone chats together, plays cards, sings, dances, not only does not drag down the children, but also avoids the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is simply the wisest choice.
However, is life in a nursing home really as comfortable as expected? Not necessarily.
The 102-year-old died in a nursing home, and was tied to bed by a caregiver for 7 days and has been struggling non-stop
On April 7, 2019, 102-year-old Gao Zai died in a nursing home in Nanchang, and until her death, she was still constantly untying the restraint belt tied to her.
After the old man's body was cremated and buried, the family proposed to the nursing home when helping him collect the relics, wanting to see the monitoring before the death of the old man in order to accurately confirm the time of the old man's death.
However, in the process of watching the monitoring, the family members who originally thought it was a natural death began to question the unnatural death of the elderly, and then reported the case to the police.
It turned out that the family found that the old man had been tied to the bed with restraint belts by the nursing home nurses many times before his death. For the first time, the old man lay on his side on the bed and was tied up by two caregivers, and although the old man repeatedly signaled not to tie it, he still failed to stop it. After the caregiver left, the old man tried his best to untie the restraint belt, but was soon discovered by the caregiver and tied up again for the second time. But the old man still did not give up, and the third restraint belt was reinforced tighter. Until that night, the old man tried to break free but did not break free, and gradually did not move again...
However, because the old man's body had been cremated, the public security organs refused to file the case on the grounds that there were "no criminal facts". Then the police checked the monitoring before the death of the old man and found that the old man had been restrained in the same way by the caregiver for 7 consecutive days before his death.
On May 16, the nursing home involved was suspended for rectification, and pointed out that there were irregular behaviors in the process of protecting the elderly in the nursing home, and there were more serious management problems.
However, for the results of this investigation by the relevant departments, the family of the elderly does not approve. However, some people in the legal profession said that in the case of the elderly not willing to be restrained, the nursing home still does this, and has strengthened the elderly twice, which is likely to lead to the death of the elderly, in line with the crime of abuse of the supervised, and the nursing home also has the fault of improper supervision and dereliction of duty.
Why are nursing home problems frequent?
"The old man was beaten", "The old man was defrauded", "The old man died unexpectedly"...
Nursing homes are constantly exposed to various incidents, and people can't help but ask: Why do nursing home problems occur frequently? Is there still a guarantee for "old age"?
Supporting the elderly, in the traditional Chinese concept, is the responsibility of the children, but now it is an industrialized society, the children also need to raise their offspring, the work is very busy, so this responsibility is transferred to the nursing home caregivers. But the caregivers do not get basic respect, they will inevitably come into contact with excrement at work, and some people regard them as the "old mothers" of the feudal era, in the words of the caregivers, doing the work of serving the father and mother, but they are not as respected as nannies and aunts.
The mainland elderly population is the first in the world, more than the total population of most countries in the world, the speed of aging is also the world's first, but also facing the challenges of the elderly who are not rich before they are old, the number of disabled elderly people, etc., and with the expansion of the unmarried and Dink ethnic groups, in the future, the demand for nursing workers and nursing homes is more exuberant.
The work environment of the caregiver is dirty and tired, and it is an errand that affects their own mood. The quality of the nurse's mood can be directly reflected in her attitude towards the elderly, and then reflected in the heart and face of the elderly. That is to say, if caregivers can work at a lower labor intensity and care for the elderly in a clean and hygienic (relative) environment, then the phenomenon of abuse and hatred of the elderly will be reduced. But how can they be allowed to work in such an environment? The only way is to realize the mechanization, automation and intelligence of the elderly, so that automatic and intelligent nursing aids can replace most of the manual physical labor, so that caregivers have more time to rest, enhance their income and social status, and also allow the elderly to have a decent old age.
For example, for the severely disabled elderly who are bedridden for many years, defecation has always been a problem. Manual treatment often needs to open the plug, defecation, turn over and tidy up, cleaning and other steps, it takes more than half an hour, and for some conscious and physically disabled elderly people, privacy is not respected, with the defecation intelligent care robot, can realize the automatic induction of defecation - negative pressure suction - warm water cleaning - warm air drying, the whole process of caregivers do not touch the dirt, defecation in the closed pipeline, can effectively prevent the indoor cross-infection of severe infectious diseases, clean and easy nursing, improve nursing efficiency, maintain the dignity of the elderly, Let the caregivers work decently!
Everyone will grow old, and everyone hopes to be dependent on the old and have a happy and peaceful old age.
