Install smart devices for the elderly 24-hour remote monitoring Family pension beds "unattended as someone"
At home to call for help, the urban two-level pension platform after receiving the information emergency rescue, pension service personnel provide an average of 1 hour of service per day, the elderly can choose cleaning, nursing and other personalized services according to their own needs. Recently, our reporter learned from the Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau that at present, the city has begun to build family pension beds in various districts, according to the recently introduced "Wuhan Home and Community Basic Pension Service Improvement Action Project Implementation Plan", by the end of February next year, Wuhan will build at least 5300 family pension beds.
What does the family pension bed look like when the professional pension institution is "moved" home, "unattended as if there is someone"? The reporter made a visit.
24-hour monitoring, installation of smart equipment for the elderly
The 89-year-old Grandma Zhang has been living alone, and her son Tang Zhiqiang will come to the door every day to cook and take care of her, but he is still not at ease, "What if I am not around when she is uncomfortable?" "Grandma Zhang lives in the Construction New Village Community in Yangyuan Street, Wuchang District, because of her advanced age, her legs have a seizure, and she can only walk on crutches on weekdays, and it is difficult to complete daily activities such as getting up, going to the toilet, and bathing.
Recently, the problem was solved, in August this year, Wuchang District organized an age-appropriate renovation project, toilet and bedside armrests, bathrooms covered with non-slip floor mats, as well as bath stools, wheelchairs and other new facilities, all into the house.
On the 12th, the reporter saw in Grandma Zhang's home that the toilet and bedroom have changed, and Grandma Zhang told reporters that the handrails are installed according to her habits of use, "At night, hold the handrail at the head of the bed, it will automatically glow, and you are no longer afraid of wrestling." ”
Han Xiao, a staff member of the service agency responsible for the renovation of Grandma Zhang's home, introduced that they will consult with the elderly and their families according to the care needs of the elderly and the living space conditions, and configure rehabilitation appliances, mobile aids and other facilities and equipment to carry out the necessary age-appropriate transformation of the living place.
For Han Xiao and his colleagues, a series of smart devices such as smart bracelets and smart monitoring of filial piety eyes have become their "helpers".
Grandma Zhang showed the reporter that tapping the smart bracelet can achieve a key alarm. The time the elderly enter the bathroom, the time the door is closed, and the health data such as heart rate and blood pressure can be sent to the background, and the staff can timely understand the vital signs, safety situation, etc., guide the work or carry out rescue.
On the same day, Wang Lin, secretary of the community, also visited the door, "If the elderly have a critical situation at home, their children can be seen at any time in the unit, and the district comprehensive service platform for the elderly and the community pension service outlets can also receive alarm information and deal with it quickly." ”
The setting of family pension beds has reduced the burden on families. Today, Tang Zhiqiang still goes to his home every day to take care of his mother, but the change has quietly occurred, and "his heart is relaxed a lot."
Help the elderly realize the wish of "not leaving home for the elderly"
On the list of facilities and equipment for the construction of family pension beds, the reporter saw that the required items include security monitoring devices, voice or video call equipment, vital signs monitoring equipment, door magnetic sensors and network connection equipment. Bedside rails, safety handrails, auto-sensing luminaires and more are among the options available. On the wall of Grandma Zhang's house, a daily list of medications is posted, and the service staff of the nursing home will use the dispensing box to pack and label, and instruct the elderly to take the medicine as required.
The reporter learned that the family pension bed is based on qualified pension service institutions, extending the professional care services of the institution to the homes of the elderly, and setting up beds with similar care functions for the elderly in the home.
Relying on it, the wish of many elderly people to "retire from home" will be possible. Especially for the elderly, incapacitated or semi-disabled, comprehensive long-term care services will be of substantial help.
According to the staff of the Wuchang District Civil Affairs Bureau, in April this year, after the wuhan elderly home aging renovation work was launched, the Wuchang District Civil Affairs Bureau fully promoted the work, anti-slip treatment, installation of bedside guardrails (grab rods), anti-lost devices and other 8 basic projects are free renovation projects and supplies that can enjoy government subsidies, and 22 optional projects can be purchased according to family wishes. Recently, combined with the construction of family pension beds, we have explored the four-level response mechanism of family members- service enterprises - district-level platforms- and municipal platforms.
In the "Wuhan Home and Community Basic Old-age Service Improvement Action Project Implementation Plan" issued a few days ago, it is clear that the target range of family pension beds is the disabled and semi-disabled elderly people with economic difficulties, and the implementation stage is launched in mid-September, and by the end of February 2022, Wuhan will build no less than 5,300 family pension beds and serve no less than 11,000 people. A one-time subsidy of up to 3,000 yuan will be given to each family pension bed.
The plan stipulates that the service institution of the family pension bed shall be connected with the comprehensive platform for the old-age service in the district to achieve 24-hour dynamic management and remote monitoring. The physical condition of the elderly is assessed and the ability level is determined.
Relying on qualified service institutions, we provide professional services for the contracted elderly, carry out necessary ageing and intelligent transformation of the living environment and living space of the elderly, and provide them with life care, meals, cleaning and sanitation, medical care, psychological support, emergency rescue, remote response and other services.
Service agencies check the room once a day through the information equipment once a day, and the cumulative service time per month is not less than 30 hours, of which the life care service is not less than 1/3 of the total service time, and the medical care service is not less than 2 times.
"Unattended as someone"
It will be an ideal scene for the elderly
The national "14th Five-Year Plan" proposes: "Promote the coordinated development of the pension industry and the pension industry, and improve the basic pension service system." "The construction of family pension beds is of great significance for Wuhan to explore home care."
In the view of He Zeyi, executive dean of the Wisdom Pension Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, the emergence and positioning of family pension beds are in line with china's national conditions. She told reporters that in Wuhan, the elderly choose the way of old-age care presents a "9055" model, that is, about 90% of the elderly implement home-based old-age care, about 5% of the elderly in the community for the elderly, and about 5% of the elderly in the old-age institutions for the elderly.
The setting of the family pension bed is not only "one bed", but more importantly, it involves the transformation of hardware facilities in the home environment, the common link of intelligent platforms and data, and the joint combination of high-quality old-age services, which is a complex system engineering.
"Family pension beds are people's livelihood projects, and what they do is to send charcoal in the snow." He Zeyi believes that the construction of family pension beds mainly solves the difficulties of the disabled and semi-disabled elderly living in the original home, and finally through various means, to achieve the effect of "no one cares like someone".
She mentioned that the core of the old-age service should be "someone to take care of", so that the elderly "can do what they can do, what they can't do is helped, and someone needs to provide emergency services when they need it.". She explained that in the current social environment, guaranteed old-age services and emergency old-age services are just needed by most elderly people and need to be faced in an urgent position to be solved.
Is there a bottleneck in the actual promotion of "family pension beds"? He Zeyi, who has long focused on this field, told reporters that in the future, pension services are mainly through artificial intelligence and human labor collaboration to complete the service for the elderly, advanced technology and pension service application scenarios should be closely linked, and solve the problem of data interconnection and interoperability such as big health, so as to serve the elderly, "such as smart device operation should be as simple and convenient as possible, so that the elderly can produce strong stickiness of users."
