In the wave of an aging society, the number of elderly people with cognitive impairment is growing, and their needs and dependence on the community are also becoming stronger. In this context, the construction of "Dementia-Friendly Community" came into being, aiming to provide a safe, comfortable and convenient living environment for this special group. At present, the construction of dementia-friendly communities has achieved certain results, and at the same time, there are some obvious development trends.
First of all, judging from the current situation, the construction of dementia-friendly communities has been carried out nationwide. Dementia-friendly streets and communities have been established in many places, providing the elderly with whole-process services such as cognitive impairment risk assessment, early intervention, publicity and education, and resource linkage. These communities not only focus on the needs of the elderly, but also strive to improve their quality of life by creating suitable places for their activities, providing specialized care services, and conducting cognitive rehabilitation training. In addition, some regions have also formulated local standards, such as the Guidelines for the Construction of Dementia-Friendly Communities for the Elderly, to guide the practice of community building and ensure that various services can be carried out scientifically and standardly.
However, there are still many challenges in building a dementia-friendly community. Among them, the lack of professional talents, uneven service quality, and poor resource links are particularly prominent. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to further strengthen policy support and improve the professionalism and refinement of community services.
Judging from the trend, the construction of dementia-friendly communities will pay more attention to overall planning and comprehensive layout. In the future, the community will pay more attention to the friendliness of space and human environment, including optimizing traffic circulation, improving barrier-free facilities, and improving the level of environmental greening. At the same time, community construction will also pay more attention to the application of information technology, and improve the convenience and efficiency of services through smart elderly care. In addition, community construction will also pay more attention to social participation and co-construction and sharing, and jointly promote the sustainable development of community construction through multi-party cooperation among the government, communities, families, and social organizations.
At the policy level, the state has introduced a series of relevant policies to support the construction of dementia-friendly communities. For example, the release of the Report on the Status and Development of Care Services for the Elderly with Dementia provides data support and policy basis for the construction of dementia-friendly communities. In addition, the formulation of the National Action Plan for Alzheimer's Disease has also clarified the direction and goals of the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment in the future. The introduction of these policies provides strong policy guarantee and support for the construction of dementia-friendly communities.
