Fifty or sixty steps, with a floor height of nearly seven or eight meters, are easy for young people, but they are prohibitive for many elderly people. Recently, the elderly activity room originally located on the second floor of Jinlaiyuan Community in Zhujing Town has not only moved downstairs, but also added many new functions, which have been praised by the elderly.
In the senior activity room of Jinlai Yuan, located on the first floor, it is very lively. Wang Xiaobao, 90 years old this year, said that this is the first time she has been to the senior activity room, and she is very happy to chat with everyone. At the same time, it also energizes blood pressure and measures blood sugar, which is particularly convenient.

Before, the activity room was on the second floor, which was not very convenient for us seniors, but now after moving to the ground floor, I am very happy.
While moving downstairs, various functional services have also been greatly improved. Originally only 60 square meters, the elderly activity room now covers an area of about 200 square meters, including a viewing room, a health education room, a reading area, a leisure massage chair, etc. In addition, the twinning units will also carry out various activities on a regular basis every week.

In the past, the family doctor used to see us on the second floor, but now that we have moved down, it is more convenient for us to see the doctor.

In the past, there was no reading area, but after the renovation of the elderly activity room, a reading area was added, and you can read newspapers and magazines, which is really for the sake of our elderly.
It is understood that Jinlai Yuan is a demolition and resettlement community built in 2005, and the number of elderly people over 60 years old accounts for more than 30% of the permanent population. Through research and visits, the neighborhood committee learned that it is the voice of many residents to move down the activity room for the elderly. With their help, the elderly activity room originally located on the second floor was finally moved to the first floor, and various service functions have also been greatly improved.

When designing this activity room for the elderly, we also considered the periphery and set up barrier-free facilities to make it convenient for people with disabilities and wheelchairs to participate in various activities.
