"It's been so hot lately that I feel a little dizzy when I walk down the street. Thanks to the community for arranging someone to come to my door for a physical examination and give suggestions for heat prevention, it is really caring. On June 29, after receiving a free physical examination from medical staff at home, Zhao Deming, a resident of Ziqiang Community, Beiguan Street, Lianhu District, Xi'an City, said.
The medical staff helped the elderly Zhao Deming to come to the door for physical examination
In the past few days, the hot weather in Xi'an has continued, and some elderly people have experienced symptoms such as dizziness when they are outdoors. In order to find out the health status of the elderly in the community in a timely manner, the Ziqiang community contacted the Beiguan Community Health Service Center to provide free door-to-door physical examination services for the elderly over 65 years old in the jurisdiction, and gave targeted heatstroke prevention suggestions and preventive measures based on the physical characteristics of the elderly, which was well received by the elderly.
Provide intimate, warm-hearted, and reassuring "three-hearted" services, and integrate "micro-services" into the daily life of residents. The reporter learned that the door-to-door physical examination and guidance for the elderly to prevent heatstroke is the epitome of the self-improvement community's launch of the "micro-love to help the elderly" service platform and the implementation of the "six micro" work method of Beiguan Street.
Community volunteers clean up the homes of residents
Since the beginning of this year, on the basis of in-depth understanding of the living needs of the elderly in the jurisdiction, the Ziqiang community has joined hands with medical, housekeeping and other co-construction units to build a "micro-love to help the elderly" service platform, from the four aspects of life care, health management, cultural entertainment and spiritual care, to provide accurate and personalized volunteer services for the elderly, and improve the happiness of the elderly.
At present, there are five medical institutions, including Beiguan Community Health Service Center and Xi'an Zhongda Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, which regularly provide free physical examinations and health consulting services for the elderly. 23 businesses and 25 volunteers regularly provide housework assistance, shopping assistance, haircuts and other services to the elderly, making their daily lives more convenient.
The community runs calligraphy and painting training courses for the elderly
In addition, the Ziqiang Community cooperates with cultural institutions in the jurisdiction to provide cultural activities such as theatrical performances, calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and reading clubs for the elderly, so as to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the elderly. The community also organizes psychological counselors and social workers to visit homes to relieve the emotions and stress of the elderly with psychological problems, solve their psychological problems, and improve their quality of life and happiness.
"My wife and I are old, and our legs and feet are not strong, so it is difficult to go out for a walk, let alone clean up the house. Since the launch of 'WeLove for the Elderly' in the community, volunteers have often helped us clean our homes and sell daily necessities, so that we can enjoy intimate services without going out. The home is clean, the mood is better, and life is much more comfortable. Thank you to the community for your attentive service. Resident Zhuang Zhufang said.
