The meaning behind the term "disabled elderly" is a little heavy, and when the elderly are impaired in their physical functions and are unable to complete basic life activities on their own, they will be classified in this category.
This is a very painful time for the elderly, because their love for life, the only remaining dignity, is worn away little by little by their own powerlessness, and they cannot change this predicament.
In this pension dilemma, the role of the bathing assistant was born, allowing the elderly to maintain the last trace of decency, many people think that such a description is too exaggerated, but in fact, it is not, because the role of the bathing assistant is really important for specific groups.
To put it simply, the current situation of old-age care in mainland China is not optimistic, and for the overall environment of old-age care, it is likely that more elderly people will not be able to be supported.
When we are young, we naturally have no related troubles, but once we are old, the decline of physical function is inevitable, and the difficulties of the disabled elderly in daily life are very common problems, which should be paid attention to.
The job of bathing assistant is an industry produced in the emerging social atmosphere, and for the 40 million disabled elderly in the mainland, this profession can bring them some dignity, so everyone should also have a rational view of this job.
Due to the physical inconvenience or long-term illness in bed for the elderly, bathing has become a luxury, although they also want to keep the basic tidy, but it is really inadequate, in the face of this dilemma, the appearance of the bathing assistant gives them the last dignity.
Many people may not understand this, especially in today's life and work background, young people who have not really experienced old age have the idea that tidying up for work needs or interpersonal communication.
They don't think it's necessary for the elderly to dress up decently, and no one cares about that, but we should understand that the difference between humans and animals lies in our wisdom, and one of the keys to wisdom is etiquette.
Keeping the appearance neat and clean is the basic requirement of human etiquette norms, so even if the elderly are not dressed for social occasions, they have their own insistence in their hearts, so the symbolic meaning of bathing is greater than its actual meaning for the elderly.
Especially for some elderly people who have been ill for a long time, due to the inability to move for a long time, it is easy to produce peculiar smells on the body, which seem to remind the elderly that their time is short, in fact, on the side, it is also reducing the mental state of the elderly.
In this way, the meaning of bathing for the elderly is deeper, not only for the basic dignity, but also for their own health, so we should welcome them with an encouraging attitude towards the job of bathing artist.
Among the elderly groups in the mainland, there are those who have no worries about being supported by their children, but there are also lonely elderly people who need more social care to spend their old age, which may also be a common situation in the future.
As the fertility rate continues to decline, the proportion of the elderly is actually increasing slowly over time, and when the two sides are unbalanced, it is necessary for society to act as an intermediary to balance the connection between the two sides.
Helping the disabled elderly take a bath sounds trivial, after all, bathing is a very common behavior in our daily life, but the meaning behind this job is worth encouraging and promoting.
We must understand that the number of groups whose children are currently providing for the elderly and can really take care of their parents at any time is actually not much, and we can get such a conclusion by simply looking at the number of migrant children in the mainland.
Even if most of the elderly have children to rely on, it is difficult to really regard their children as the sustenance of everything, and there are always times when they need to face difficulties by themselves, but the elderly themselves have difficulties, and the professional groups that can save the emergency are always good starting points.
Moreover, the elderly do not want to make their existence a drag on the family, they want to create some new value, at least not to cause trouble to the new family of their children, so it is easier for them to ask for help from the social helpers.
Through psychological influences, these bathing assistants can make the elderly feel more relaxed and mentally fuller, and these effects are enough to keep the elderly in a positive state for a period of time in the rest of their lives.
On the surface, the job of a bathing assistant is nothing more than spending half an hour to help the elderly take a bath, and the fee is relatively expensive, but what really makes people willing to pay is actually the spiritual value contained in it.
For this emerging industry, we should encourage, of course, should also be vigilant to prevent a series of additional problems such as arbitrary fees, and not let the goodwill contained in the industry be coerced by interests.
