"Happiness Hui" entered the provincial capital of Taiyuan

On December 24th, in the hall of the newly run Happiness Hui Taiyuan Xincheng Community Pension Service Center, more than 100 elderly people dressed in new traditional Chinese red birthday star costumes surrounded two nearly 100-year-old people in the community to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Happiness Hui Elderly Care Service Center is the first integrated service organization in Shanxi Province to create a community home care model. In June 2014, Jincheng Happiness Hui Elderly Care Service Center took the lead in registering with the local civil affairs department, is a private non-enterprise pension service institution, is also the pioneer and practitioner of home care service in Jincheng City and even in the province, and is the pilot unit that successfully helped Jincheng City obtain the third batch of central financial support to carry out home and community pension service reform.

In 2020, "Happiness Hui" was introduced into the provincial capital taiyuan as one of the top ten community pension service brands in Shanxi Province.

After 5 years of practice and exploration, Happiness Hui Elderly Care Service Center has matured in Jincheng District to operate west street community happiness garden, Baishui community health care station, Fengming community health care station, Fengtai community health care station, Shangyuan community health care center 5 old-age service bases, according to the physical condition of the elderly, to provide a variety of different maintenance services, mainly to provide elderly meals, cultural entertainment, birthday banquets for the elderly, healthy foot baths, rehabilitation physiotherapy, time bank and other old-age services. In the past five years, more than 300,000 people have provided care services for the elderly in Jincheng.

After more than 4 months of preparation, with the support of the provincial civil affairs department, the Jinyuan District Committee and District Government of Taiyuan City, the local street office and the Xincheng community, the Happiness Hui Taiyuan Xincheng Community Pension Service Center settled in the Xincheng Residential Area of Jinyuan District, the provincial city.

On the same day, some of the elderly people who came to the Taiyuan Xincheng Community Pension Service Center sang and danced in the practice room, some helped make lunch in the kitchen, some did health therapy in the gym, and some quietly read books in the library.

"According to the physical condition of the elderly, the center has arranged many leisure and entertainment projects suitable for the energetic elderly, and the elderly with strong bodies can go home at night after participating in various activities in the center during the day." Liang Jingya, secretary of the xincheng community party branch, said that because the xinghui xincheng community pension service center has and plays the service nature that many communities should have, this "integrated" pension model is also one of the reasons why the elderly like it.

"My family is in the same house as the fourth generation, and the eldest son has also embraced his grandson!" Xiao Xiuqi, 90, lives in the Xincheng community, originally worked in the tax department, and has 2 children and 5 daughters under her knees. After retirement, he lived with his eldest son. Although the children are quite filial piety, as the children and grandchildren fill the house, the children who are getting older also have the strength to fall short. "When you are older, the needs of life such as eating, living and resting are inevitably not the same as those of children. I usually like calligraphy and painting, and Happiness Hui also happens to be in the calligraphy and painting room, so I came. "Every day, after the elderly write and paint, they can chat with their neighbors in the community, and when they meet holidays, they will go home to reunite with their children and grandchildren."

"After many elderly people retire, it is not that they are unable to work, but they are not provided with places and opportunities to play and show their talents, which is a pity." Li Ailing said: "The establishment of this cooperative is to fully take the elders of the new city community as the core, build in the form of a big family, excavate and stimulate the concept of community residents, and the elderly come to the cooperative activity center to work for 1 hour every day to create the atmosphere of food art, spiritual art, culture and art, pension art, and life art." Mobilize the elderly in the whole community, create innovative products, carry forward the spirit of labor, let the elderly make a difference, labor is the most glorious, and the positive attitude of life of labor to create wealth is expressed, and everyone builds this big family together and works together to build a better home. According to her, at present, the cooperative has 50 members. The home-cooked stuffed dumplings and buns they make every day, named after their family life such as "Mommy Dumplings" and "Daddy Buns", will not only be supplied to the children of the elderly in the community, but will also be sold in the surrounding supermarkets.

In order to provide more accurate maintenance services, the Happiness Hui Taiyuan Xincheng Community Pension Service Center also provides specialized, targeted, cultural multi-faceted, multi-level and multi-giving services for the elderly with disability and dementia, and establishes and improves the team of day care, medical rehabilitation, nutrition catering, spiritual comfort and spiritual companionship, culture, leisure and entertainment, etc., to meet the increasing demand for old-age services for the elderly.

Do not leave the community, the nearest pension, integrate into the community, mobilize the vitality of the elderly, and create a "nother home for the elders". Li Ailing said: "The elderly society has arrived, let us develop and create a number of community health care centers, do a good job of playing Shanxi's own pension brand, and forge a new road for the province's pension services." ”

At present, the health care service model of Happiness Hui for the elderly has become a model project of the chain government of community home brands in Shanxi Province.
