Recently, there was a warm scene in the Qiushi Community Home Care Service and Care Center of Zhejiang University, Lingyin Street - Zhang Xueren, a 93-year-old veteran of Qiushi Village, who resisted US aggression and aided Korea, sent a pennant with "sincere and warm heart, noble character and true touch" and a neatly framed and sincere letter of thanks, expressing gratitude and encouragement to the two comrades of the Street Elderly Care Service and Care Center, Wu Jingxian and Lu Huili, for their perennial patience and careful service.
In the letter, he described in detail the scene of his usual participation in the activities of the care center: on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they made a five-star red flag together; Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang Festival and other festivals to participate in the making of zongzi and Chongyang cakes; During the winter solstice, when the incidence of diseases was high and the temperature plummeted, I received hot rice balls from the staff. The ordinary little things that were common to the staff of the care center were firmly remembered by Uncle Zhang and warmed his heart.
This is our daily work, I didn't expect to be remembered by the old man, and we were also very moved. Wu Jingxian, a staff member, said, "The care center often carries out some cultural and recreational activities, and the elderly can come here to do their hands and chat." Like Uncle Zhang, although he is not in good health, as long as his health allows, he will come to actively participate and be very supportive of our work. ”
In the reading and browsing area, in addition to books for borrowing, there are also special newspaper clippings collected and sorted out by Uncle Zhang from newspapers on a daily basis, such as special reports on the Asian Games, brilliant achievements in the development of the new era, and the essence of literature and history, etc., for the elderly to learn and read. On the display wall on the other side, there are all kinds of hand-woven items, which are samples woven by Sister Lu in the care center. Sister Lu smiled and said that these items are displayed here, and if the old man is willing to learn, he will also teach them how to weave.
As the staff of the care center, they try their best to meet the needs of the elderly for cultural and recreation, health care, spiritual comfort, life care, etc., and do their best to serve them. There are many elderly people in Qiushi Village, and it is also the community with the most lonely widows and elderly people living alone in the jurisdiction of Lingyin Street, usually the children are not at home, and the old people have no one to accompany them, the care center will notify them of the relevant activities in a timely manner, and the staff will also remember to say hello to the elderly who did not come to participate in the activities, or visit the elderly to see their physical condition.
It is precisely because of the dedication of the staff and the support of the elderly that there is this two-way rush of protection and love.
Loneliness and lack of care are the problems of many elderly people today. Relying on the resources of the jurisdiction to promote the transformation of the elderly, Lingyin Street will build a community-embedded elderly care institution in 2024, with one-stop elderly care service functions such as home care service center, care service center, cognitive impairment care service area, ** assistive device rental service, restaurant, etc.; At the same time, through the 6 community home-based elderly care service centers, 3 livelihood complexes, 2 canteens for the elderly, 1 meal assistance point, 4 health service stations, 1 community health service center and 1 school for the elderly, the "15-minute elderly care service circle" has been built to provide the elderly with a variety of cultural life and catering services for the elderly, improve the quality of life of the elderly in an all-round way, and let the elderly enjoy a healthy and happy old age.
