In the face of the increasingly severe trend of social aging, how to alleviate the pressure of home care services has become an urgent problem to be solved. To this end, Hongmei Street, Xuhui District, on the basis of early recruitment and household screening, will fully launch the 2024 "Old My Elderly Plan - Improving Family Care Capacity" project. The project provides comprehensive and professional care training for the mildly disabled elderly and their families in need in the jurisdiction by providing systematic courses, practical training and a combination of "intensive teaching" and "individual counseling".
Recently, the "Elderly Program" series of courses has been launched simultaneously in 13 neighborhood committees in 4 districts, including Cangwu Road Area, Donglan Gumei Area, Hongmei Road Area, and Shangaotang District, Hongmei Street, serving more than 300 people, and has been warmly welcomed by the elderly and families in the community.
What are the "pitfalls" that are often easy to step on in the process of home care? In the home care course, the trainers guided everyone to think about common misunderstandings in the process of home care through in-depth and question-based teaching. This interactive teaching method effectively boosts participants' interest and encourages them to think positively and ask questions.
In addition to sharing tips and experiences, a healthy diet is just as important as pressure ulcer prevention. Through the method of "video + case", the professional lecturer popularized the knowledge of healthy diet care for the disabled elderly at home to the service users. At the same time, in view of the pressure ulcers that are prone to occur in some bedridden elderly, the lecturer introduced the methods of prevention and treatment.
In the face of families with diverse care needs, the family care trainers also supplemented the latest pension policies and pension resource information in a timely manner.
Family care skills sharing, experience exchange and new knowledge learning, personalized guidance...... Through these targeted trainings, caregivers have not only improved their skills and knowledge, but also enhanced their understanding of the latest elderly care policies, which has brought tangible help to the elderly in the community and their families.
Hongmei Street is committed to helping the elderly and their families establish a positive attitude, enhance and improve their quality of life, and further improve the informal community care system through the "Elderly Care Program". "In the next stage, Hongmei Street will combine the actual situation of the jurisdiction, innovate service methods, provide more diversified, effective, continuous and professional support services for the elderly in the community, promote mutual assistance and support in the community, and realize that the elderly in the community do not leave home, relatives and groups, and create a happy and healthy home care environment at the doorstep." The relevant person in charge of Hongmei Street said.
