Whether life is good or not, the masses of the people have the most right to speakRecently, the National Health Commission announced the list of national demonstration age-friendly communities in 2023, and 10 more communities in our city were selected. Among them, one of the important reasons for the successful selection of the Yi Community of Yongchang Street, Chaoyang District is the establishment of a fixed volunteer service team for the elderly, absorbing enterprises in the jurisdiction to form a volunteer team, and guiding caring volunteers to carry out services for the elderly. Yihe Community is located in the center of Changchun City, with a large elderly population. The community integrates social resources to provide services such as science and technology, cleaning, medical care, psychology, entertainment, and culture for the elderly in the jurisdiction, and at the same time, it also provides personalized elderly care services.
The "Love Service Card" brings physical and mental care
What a blessing to live in this community! Thanks to the volunteers, my life is much easier! 86-year-old Aunt Wang, who lives in the radio and television community, said excitedly. It turned out that since the old man's son suffered from physical and mental disabilities, from the moment of birth, the responsibility of taking care of daily life fell on her. Today, Aunt Wang's son is 50 years old, but she is unable to do it because of her advanced age. In the face of the plight of the elderly, the Yihe community staff kept it in mind and helped them in practice, and together with volunteers, they took the initiative to come to the door to cut the hair of the elderly's son and help the elderly clean up their homes.
With the help of volunteers, my son was able to get regular haircuts, and I was touched by their sincere actions. Aunt Wang said that because her son was in a special situation, no barber was willing to come to the door, so it became difficult to get a haircut. Now, volunteers have not only solved the problem of haircuts, but also repainted the homes of the elderly. "Look! This house, what a bright hall! Aunt Wang cautiously touched the snow-white wall and said.
Wang Liang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yihe Community, introduced that for the elderly over 60 years old in the jurisdiction, the community issued them a "love service card", organized volunteers to visit the elderly in difficulty, and solved the practical difficulties in their lives.
"Age-appropriate transformation" brings safety and convenience
The community is the most important public place for the elderly to live.
The community serves the residents in particular meticulously. Recently, the community has made changes to the living environment of residents, for example, setting up rest chairs at the corridor platform, where the elderly can go up and down the stairs to rest, although the project is not large, but it is very warm. Speaking of the uprising and the barrier-free renovation of community public facilities, Aunt Cao, a resident, praised it again and again.
In order to create a good travel environment for the elderly in the jurisdiction, Yihe Community not only strengthens the barrier-free renovation of residential public facilities for the elderly, but also focuses on the transformation of public building nodes such as ramps, stairs, and handrails, so that the elderly can travel safely and conveniently.
Walking in the Yihe community, "age-appropriate transformation" can be seen everywhere: the leisure seats in the activity venue are neatly arranged, the lighting facilities are complete, the main roads are separated from people and vehicles, and the sidewalks are clean and ......To ensure the safety of the elderly to the greatest extent.
In addition, the Yihe community also demolished more than 50 private buildings and planned 4 fire escapes; Rectify problems such as messy and aging lines; Safety specifications for laying electricity, communications, cable TV lines, ......Let the elderly no longer "stumble" when traveling.
Legal services bring personal and property protection
Age-friendly community, really 'friendly! Speaking of living in the Yihe community, residents frequently give a thumbs up.
In Yihe Community, volunteers from the lawyer team deliver legal services to residents' doorsteps every month through public interest law popularization and professional legal answers. "Legal services are really necessary! Aunt Liu, a resident, said that she had listened to the promotion of health care products and bought a functional mattress for herself, and in the public welfare law popularization publicity, the elderly realized that they had been deceived, and then, with the help of the police station and lawyers in the jurisdiction, they successfully returned the mattress and recovered the economic loss.
Through lawyers, legal knowledge is disseminated and legal questions are answered, and the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly are safeguarded in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, personal and property safety. Wang Liang said that in addition to carrying out public welfare law popularization every month, the community has also set up a "legal service workstation for the people" to explain legal issues such as child support and property inheritance, not only to encourage the elderly to use the law to protect their legitimate rights and interests, but also to use vivid cases to enhance their legal awareness.
A family doctor leads to a healthy life
Since signing a family doctor, our family is equivalent to one more doctor relative, and you can consult directly if you encounter medical problems, which is so convenient! Uncle Gao, who is in his 80s, said happily.
Uncle Gao and his wife suffer from different degrees of geriatric diseases, and their children are not around, so the family doctors, volunteers, and grid chiefs of the Yihe community have become the "family" of the elderly. The elderly can enjoy free blood pressure measurement and other health services at home; Huang Chunhong, the chief of the grid, often runs errands and buys medicine for the elderly.
We actively promote the contracted service of family doctors, and promote the development of medical and health services for the elderly through health lectures and other forms. Wang Liang said that they regularly provide services such as lifestyle and health assessments, physical examinations and health guidance for the elderly. The Yihe community also establishes health records for the sick elderly, provides basic medical care, nursing and other services, and conducts quarterly follow-up visits for the elderly with chronic diseases. At the same time, we should actively organize and carry out cultural and recreational activities for the elderly that are rich in content, diverse in form, and healthy and beneficial, so as to enrich the spiritual life of the elderly. **Changchun**.
