As the wheels of the years roll forward,The wave of silver hair has gradually converged into the sea, and the number of elderly people in China has increased year by yearMany elderly people are sent to nursing homes for a variety of excuses.
On the surface, the elderly will be carefully cared for by professionals in the nursing home, which is indeed a good place to recuperateAfter all, there are many peers, and they are not lonely when they get together.
But what a lot of people don't know isThere are also "unspoken rules" in nursing homes, and even many elderly people will be bullied by some people in some cases.
So what's going on with all this, is the so-called "ideal retirement home" just a lie?
With the passage of time, China has entered a new stage of aging society. According to statistics,China has about 2600 million elderly people, accounting for 21 percent of the country's population1%。
Such data,It means that our country has entered a moderately aging societyIn the face of such a large group of elderly people, many countries in the world actually do not have very good countermeasures.
Take Japan, one of the first countries in Asia to enter a deep aging populationIt has a lot of headaches in dealing with the problem of elderly care.
As early as the 70s of the last century, the national pension insurance system began to be built to ensure the basic living security of every elderly person. At the same time, measures such as delaying the retirement age and encouraging silver-haired talents to return to the workplace will be implemented to maximize the potential of elderly human resources.
Such a policy was not a problem at the time, butWith young people not marrying and not having children, Japan is facing a severe shortage of labor.
At the same time,The return of the elderly to the workforce is just a helpless moveAnd Japan's industrialization has long been underway, and if they don't retire, it means that it will be more difficult for young people to find work.
SoMany young people in Japan are now pessimistic about their future livesThere are even some young people who blatantly gnaw at home at home, and they gnaw for decades.
At present, our country is about to face a serious pension problem, especially after the implementation of family planningThe post-80s and post-90s generations are basically only children.
This generation of young people,In addition to facing excessive pressure on housing loans and car loans, there is also serious pension pressureBasically, after they get married, there are at least four elderly people who need to provide for their old age, or even more.
In such a situation, it is simply impossible for young people to have time to take care of their elderly parentsOtherwise, the balance of the family will be broken.
But after all, the elderly are old, and if their children are not around, they have an emergency situation that cannot be handled wellTherefore, many elderly people will choose to live in nursing homes in order not to cause trouble to their children.
In addition, there are many elderly people who cannot take care of themselves, and they will also be sent to nursing homes by their childrenIt is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention those who have no siblings to help the generation, once the work is stopped, the medical expenses of the parents cannot be provided.
Many people think that by entering a nursing home, the elderly will be able to live a comfortable and comfortable life in their old ageBut you need to know that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone places like nursing homes.
Here though there is no fight to kill,But the elderly version of "Jianghu" is still made popular by some peopleIn a nursing home, the "seniority" is not based on your position and grades before retirement, but the number of times your children come over.
To put it simply, nursing homes can be divided into four levelsThat is, those who have children who often come to visit are higher than those who can arrive quickly, and then the children in the field are higher than the elderly who have no children and no daughters.
Even if his children have done very good results outside, as long as he does not often visit his elderly, the status of the elderly in the nursing home will not be too high.
Here, if the old man has no children, or he doesn't have much capital, and his children are not around, then even if he is bullied, he can only endure it.
The reason for this is because:The hospital and other old people saw that this old man had no one to support him, so some people would bully him.
In fact, this situation is similar to school bullyingThose whose parents do not show up much and whose children are more cowardly will also be bullied by some students.
Because they are not afraid that someone will come and vent their angerThe nursing home also adheres to the principle that more is better than less, and out of sight is clean.
In addition to the relationship between the elderly, there are also many problems with the caregivers in nursing homes.
In fact, no matter how the social environment changes, no matter what differences there are in regional culturesMost people's values are still measured by their personal strength and background, and this is especially true in the miniature social environment of nursing homes.
Here it isThose who have a strong financial foundation or have strong support from their children are respected as aristocracy in nursing homesThe services they enjoy are also all-round and meticulous, and their later life is like bathing in the warm sunshine, warm and quiet.
However, the contrast is starkThe situation of the elderly who lack economic strength, or who are lonely and have no children to accompany them, is particularly bleak. They had the desire to live a peaceful old age in a nursing home on their meager pension, but the harsh reality is that they do not receive the care and respect they deserve in the nursing home.
Some caregivers lack the necessary patience and compassion for them in their daily careThere are even individual caregivers who will treat these vulnerable elderly people humiliatingly, making them "** people" in nursing homesLiving on the fringes and being left out in the cold.
This phenomenon can't help but remind people of the feudal society in the long historyAt that time, the so-called "extinct" old people, because they had no children to inherit the family business, their later life was often regarded as the "surplus value" of society, and they were treated coldly and ignored.
In some nursing homes in modern society, due to the loss of professional ethics and poor service attitude of some nursing staffElderly people with reduced physical function and limited mobility are the direct recipients of abuse.
Their pain and helplessness are often difficult to attract enough attention and understanding from the outside world due to their limited channels for speaking.
In May 2011, an incident of elder abuse in a nursing home in Zhengzhou was like a sharp mirror, revealing this serious problem in a real and profound way.
The nurse violently woke up the old man in the middle of the night, and responded violently to the old man's resistanceWhat is even more outrageous is that the elderly were forced to drink urine and beat them with hard objects, which made the whole society angry.
Although it was later found that the caregiver had mental health problems, we must be vigilantMajor omissions in the recruitment and management of staff in nursing homes are precisely the root cause of such human tragedies.
In this regard, we should deeply reflect on this and take effective measures to:Ensure that every older person receives the respect and care they deserve in their old age, rather than enduring abuse and bullying.
Turnover rate, i.e. how often beds are replaced in nursing homesTheoretically, it should reflect the operational status and service stability of the nursing home. However, the reality isA high turnover rate often means a serious decline in service quality.
In order to pursue higher economic benefits, some unscrupulously operated nursing homes do not hesitate to take extreme measures to artificially accelerate bed turnover by reducing the quality of service and even ignoring the basic rights and interests of the elderlyTreat the elderly as if they were commodities on the assembly line.
These unscrupulous behaviors include, but are not limited to, deliberate neglect or delay of necessary medical care for the elderly, reduction of essential dietary supplies, and even direct physical or mental abuse.
In such a harsh environment, the elderly not only suffer physical health, but more tragically, they become objects of deprivation of dignityLost stable living environment and the opportunity to build ongoing emotional bonds with family and friends.
This even more shocking phenomenon reveals the greedy face of some nursing homes that use the pension of the elderly for profit. The savings originally used to ensure that the elderly enjoy their old age have become a tool for unscrupulous operators to extract profits, making the elderly fall into an isolated and helpless situation, and psychologically suffer from anxiety, depression and other negative emotions.
There are more than 2 million elderly people living in various types of nursing homes in ChinaBehind this figure is a huge demand and expectation for high-quality elderly care services.
As social citizens, we must think deeply and call on the whole society to pay attention to the healthy development of the elderly care industry, urge policymakers to strengthen the supervision of the quality of nursing home services, and promote the improvement and implementation of industry standards.
At the same time, consumers should also be reminded to keep their eyes open when choosing a nursing homeNo longer let trust become a tragedy, so that every elderly can truly be bathed in warm humanistic care in their old age.
