The breeze in Tuocheng warms the hearts of the people Solving problems for the elderly, making "no obstacles" become "loving"

Executive summary

previewThis year, since the city carried out the centralized rectification of unhealthy trends and corruption around the masses, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have focused on the "urgency, hardship and hope" of the masses, and worked in the same direction with all relevant functional departments to solve problems for the masses with heart and affection, and to do a number of good and practical things that the masses can feel. Starting today, this column will launch a series of related reports "Tuocheng Breeze Warms the People's Hearts", the first episode of the program, to focus on how Jinping District solves problems for the elderly, so that "no obstacles" become "love". Since the beginning of this year, in view of the many obstacles highlighted by the elderly in terms of housing safety and life services, the discipline inspection and supervision organs of Jinping District have paid close attention to the "urgency, hardship and longing" of the elderly group, and promoted some local streets and communities to make useful attempts in the housing of the elderly, government services for the elderly and meal assistance, so that the elderly can truly feel the happiness that can be seen and touched.

Aunt Liao is 80 years old and lives alone on the fifth floor of the Feixia residential complex. Due to the age of the residential building for thirty or forty years, the power lines, gas stoves and household appliances are seriously aging and damaged, and the water heater also lacks special exhaust pipes. She was very worried about this, for fear of electricity and gas leakage.

The worry is that there is an accident, and once an accident happens, it is too late for a person to wait for his children to come.

In Dongfang Street, there are many elderly people who live alone in a similar situation to Aunt Liao. After discovering the situation during the visit, the local street took relevant measures in time to help the elderly living alone build a "firewall" for fire safety.

The streets focus on the hidden dangers of the elderly living alone: first, the electrical lines are renovated and the casing is protected to ensure the safety of electricity; the second is to install intelligent smoke detection alarms, emergency lights, fire extinguishers and gas masks; The third is to update gas household appliances to eliminate the potential safety hazards caused by old gas household appliances, and at the same time, open balcony escape windows and equip electronic candles.

As of the end of August, Dongfang Street has completed the renovation of fire protection facilities and the rectification of fire safety hazards in 50 homes for the elderly living alone, with a total of 36 sets of smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, emergency lights and other facilities, and 270 fire safety hazards such as lines, sockets, lamps and water heaters rectified.

This time, the government is very concerned, and the cadres of the neighborhood and neighborhood committees are very concerned about these people, so they can rest assured that they will be relieved and do not have to worry.

The daily meal problem of the elderly with difficulties in subsistence allowance, especially the disabled elderly with difficulties in subsistence allowance, has also become their worries and expectations. To this end, since the end of last year, Jinsha Street has opened a canteen for the elderly, and the elderly with subsistence allowance can buy a hot lunch for only 6 yuan. This small meal solved the problem of food and clothing, and made them eat "little happiness".

When I couldn't go downstairs to pick up the food, the director of the neighborhood committee sent someone to the door, feeling warm and feeling very happy.

During the daily visits, Jinsha Sub-district also found that the existing catering services could not fully match the living needs of the elderly in the jurisdiction, especially the disabled elderly with difficulties in subsistence allowance. Therefore, in July this year, one feeding unit was introduced to provide catering services for three meal assistance points in Dajiao, Jinhan and Jinfeng communities, and improved the service mechanism to deliver meals to the semi-disabled elderly.

In the course of our visit, we found that the masses have a lot of demand for catering, for which our street group carefully studied and discussed, and added two meal assistance points, which were fully operated in July this year, upgraded the catering service, and explored a new model of community cadres, social workers, and neighborhood food delivery, and opened up the "last mile" of catering for the elderly.

One of the beneficiaries is Aunt Peng, who lives on the 7th floor with limited mobility, and is home to her daily meals delivered by officials from the Dajiao Neighborhood Committee and community volunteers.

Feeling happy, they climbed to the 7th floor every day, sweating profusely, so that the canteen was opened to the door of the house, and the food was delivered to my elderly every day, and the food was more fragrant.

With the advent of the information age, the way of handling various government affairs is becoming more and more advanced, but this is a headache for some elderly people. In July of each year, new residents over the age of 80 can apply for Old Age Allowance. Aunt Jiang, who lives in Huitao Garden, Dahua Street, has reached the age to apply this year, but she does not know how to use a smartphone to apply online because of her limited mobility. The street found that there are many situations like Aunt Jiang in the jurisdiction. In this regard, they are problem-oriented and actively pay attention to the problem of "difficult work" for the elderly.

The Dahua Street Party and Mass Service Center has continuously improved the "suitable for the elderly" service, taken a number of measures to promote the construction of "suitable for the elderly" of government services, and continuously improved the service mechanism of "guide and assistant agency", with the help of our community workers, grid members, volunteers and other service forces, to help those who are handicapped, their children are not around, and the elderly in need to provide door-to-door government services.

——Wan Huixian, staff of Dahua Street Party and Mass Service Center

Recently, with the help of community workers, Aunt Jiang went through the application procedures for the old age allowance without leaving home.

Go to "Guangdong Provincial Affairs", search for "Old Age Allowance", apply for it, identify, and it's okay.

Thank you so much! Be tickled pink! We are now old, and we are very satisfied, and the government cares about me in this way.
