As China enters an aging society, it has become an urgent need to actively respond to the challenges brought about by the aging of the population and strive to build an age-friendly society.
The work report of Harbin City proposes to improve the social security system, highlight the "one old and one young", and do a good job in the national promotion action project and the construction of the provincial demonstration zone for basic elderly care services at home and in the community. At the two sessions in Harbin, "pension" has become a hot topic among the representatives and members.
To pay attention to the problem of pension for the elderly, we should first start by solving the problem of the elderly's 'worry about cooking and difficulty in eating'. The emergence of the canteen for the elderly can not only solve the problem of difficulty in eating for the elderly due to inconvenient mobility and reduced self-care ability, but also provide them with a communication platform to enhance communication and interaction between the elderly. Miao Zhonglin, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said.
Miao Zhonglin suggested that preferential policies should be introduced to encourage social forces to participate in the construction and operation of canteens for the elderly, strengthen food safety supervision, ensure that the elderly can eat at ease and eat healthily, and create a warm and comfortable dining environment for the elderly. At the same time, the corresponding compensation standards should be formulated for the non-first-class investment canteens and meal assistance outlets, and a certain annual operating subsidy should be given to the operating restaurants for the elderly, so as to speed up the solution of the problem of "one meal difficult" for the elderly.
The elderly order food at the canteen.
Lin Yabin, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that the construction of community kitchens should be encouraged and supported to provide buffet services for the elderly who are lonely. Community kitchens can provide healthy ingredients and cooking equipment, and seniors can cook their favorite meals with their own ingredients. At the same time, the community kitchen can also organize cooking training and exchange activities, where the elderly can learn new cooking skills and share their own food with other elderly people.
Rural pension is part of the rural revitalization strategy, improving the rural pension service system and solving the problems of rural elderly life and pension is not only an important breakthrough to solve the rural pension dilemma, but also an inevitable requirement to maintain rural social stability and improve the livelihood and well-being of farmers.
Liu Yan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said: "It is very common for young and middle-aged laborers in rural areas to go out to work, and the vast majority of those left behind are elderly. Unattended, lonely, and potential safety hazards are all common problems in the daily life of rural empty-nesters. ”
Liu Yan suggested that the establishment of a service system for the elderly in rural areas in the city, led by the civil affairs department, will include the poor elderly in rural areas into the urban and rural social assistance system, and establish an information ledger for the elderly in rural areas (communities) as a unit. The funding and services provided by various charities and social volunteers for the poor elderly in rural areas are included in the city's rural elderly service system, so that information and resources can be shared. Innovate the way of centralized support, introduce preferential policies, and encourage the establishment of socialized rural pension institutions. The construction of village-level elderly activity centers, village-level medical institutions for the elderly door-to-door service, the establishment of special assistance and assistance, the establishment of grass-roots party members and cadres voluntary regular visits, paired assistance system, etc.
Have fun. Lu Ying, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that efforts should be made to solve the problem of farmers' pension expenses. Lu Ying suggested that village collectives can allocate a part of the funds from land circulation income to purchase endowment insurance for the elderly in rural areas, or increase the proportion of endowment insurance or medical insurance for the elderly, so as to provide certain social pension security for the elderly who have lost their land in rural areas; Improve the medical security system for the elderly, make serious illness insurance and medical assistance tilted towards the elderly and poor in rural areas, reduce the burden of old-age care, and increase medical insurance reimbursement.
The combination of medical care and elderly care is very important for the elderly, which is not only conducive to ensuring their health and improving their quality of life, but also opens a two-way channel between pension services and medical services, which is conducive to promoting the free and open flow of social resources.
Liang Chong, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), suggested in his proposal that relevant policies and regulations should be improved to provide a strong guarantee for the integration of medical care and elderly care. First of all, it is necessary to formulate preferential policies to encourage social capital to invest in the field of medical care and elderly care. Second, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and ensure the quality and safety of integrated medical and elderly care services. In addition, a sound evaluation mechanism should be established to conduct regular evaluations of medical and elderly care service institutions to ensure service quality and efficiency. At the same time, Harbin should integrate resources such as medical institutions at all levels, social health service centers, and pension institutions to form a medical and pension service network and establish a multi-level service system.
Elderly service hall.
Allowing the elderly to have support and dependence, and enjoy their old age at home, has become a major matter of people's livelihood that the whole society is concerned about. Yang Hongyan, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that it is necessary to further increase the supply of home medical services for the elderly, accurately meet the diversified and differentiated medical service needs of the elderly population, improve the quality of life of elderly patients, and continuously promote the high-quality development of the medical service system; Accelerate the construction of the home medical care service system for the elderly in Harbin City.
Old-age care is to nourish the heart and spirit, and the quality of old-age care services directly determines the happiness of the elderly in their old age. Yang Hongyan said that through the construction of the home medical care service system for the elderly, we will promote the integrated development of medical institutions and home care for the elderly, improve the ability to provide medical services for the elderly in need, such as medical patrols, home medical services, help with medicine collection and delivery, and referral, and better extend professional care services to families, improve the quality of life of the elderly, improve the health level of the elderly, and strive to create a new pattern of elderly care services that everyone can enjoy, reach everywhere, and feel at all times.
