How to develop high-quality old-age care services in Sichuan?


From October 28th to 29th, the 4th China (Sichuan) Senior Care Service Industry and Senior Care Industry Development Exchange Event hosted by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Civil Affairs was held in Chengdu. During the two-day exchange event, participating experts and scholars focused on Sichuan and Chongqing The coordinated development of the elderly care industry, the innovation of grassroots governance elderly care services, and the future development of rehabilitation aids will jointly discuss the development path of the elderly care service industry in Sichuan and Chongqing, and make suggestions for the high-quality development of the elderly care industry.


Coordinated development of elderly care services: regional policies need to be consistent


The coordinated development of elderly care services is an important part of meeting the needs of regional elderly care services and promoting the coordinated economic and social development of the regional population. It can also accumulate experience for breaking cross-regional elderly welfare and household registration barriers. Zhong Renyao, dean of the School of Public Administration of East China Normal University, said in an interview that from the experience of the Yangtze River Delta, maintaining a high degree of consistency in the formulation and promotion of elderly care policies is the cornerstone of the coordinated development of elderly care services in Sichuan and Chongqing.

"To do a good job in the coordinated development of regional elderly care services,

We must break down policy barriers,

Break the development mentality based on household registration. "


He pointed out that if policy barriers are not broken, there will be problems such as inability to invest in investment and unsatisfactory demand for elderly care services.

After maintaining the same pension policy, how to coordinate the development of the industry?

Zhong Renyao said that to give full play to the role of industry organizations, policies must be promoted through industry associations. In terms of mobilizing social forces, industry organizations have unparalleled advantages. Judging from the experience of the Yangtze River Delta, the establishment of the Yangtze River Delta Elderly Association and the Yangtze River Delta Resident Community during the coordinated development of the Yangtze River Delta’s elderly care services has played a good role in promoting the coordinated development of the Yangtze River Delta’s elderly care services, and comprehensively improved the regional Of synergy. Zhong Renyao bluntly said that these empirical measures are worth learning from Sichuan and Chongqing.

"The ultimate goal of the coordinated development of elderly care services is to benefit the elderly."

When talking about who should focus on the coordinated development of elderly care services in Sichuan and Chongqing, Zhong Renyao emphasized that in addition to allowing the market to choose freely, it should also focus on middle-income elderly groups.

"According to the survey results, the Sichuan-Chongqing region is the same as the whole country.

The development of the elderly care industry is concentrated on the high and low ends, forming a dumbbell shape.

High-income groups have market choices,

Low-income groups have strong policy support,

The middle-income group rarely pays attention. "

He believes that when the post-50s and post-60s reach advanced age, the demand for elderly people in middle-income groups will intensively explode, and there are few old-age products suitable for this group of people in the current market. To this end, he suggested that Sichuan and Chongqing should not ignore the concern for the middle class in the process of coordinated development of elderly care services, and prepare early for early response. At present, certain policy preferences can be given to these groups under appropriate conditions.


Community care: guiding the elderly to move

In our country, home-based care has a profound cultural foundation for its existence. However, as my country's public welfare services and market pension services are still in their infancy, there are still various problems. How to further strengthen the integration of resources and build a diversified community elderly care service system is an important task we are facing at this stage.

Hao Yong, director of the Social Security and Social Policy Research Center of Shanghai Normal University, said that the establishment of a community elderly care service complex must be based on the aging of the local population. In areas with a high degree of aging, such as Shanghai, the community elderly care service complex tends to provide services such as care for the disabled. For areas where the aging rate is not too high, the community elderly care service complex can be appropriately tilted in terms of health and entertainment. He pointed out that the Sichuan-Chongqing area has a tradition of entertainment and leisure, and it also needs to be considered in the setting of community elderly care services.

The elderly group is a group composed of people with different characteristics, and there is a diversified demand for elderly care services. Hao Yong believes that the elderly also need to pay attention to their self-care ability, and guiding the elderly to move is the key to community elderly care services. He proposed that sports embedding, literary embedding, and travel support embedding in the community elderly care service complex are all effective measures to guide the elderly to move.


"From a moving level,

Organizing square dance activities is definitely better than organizing chess and card activities.

We must prevent the community elderly care service complex from becoming a chess room."

Hao Yong said that in addition to vigorous guidance at the government level, the promotion of community pensions should mobilize resources from all parts of the society to actively join in, form a joint force, set a model first, and then roll out, to play a greater role in solving the problem of community pensions.


Sichuan's rehabilitation aid industry development: industry support attaches great importance to investment promotion


"At the end of 2019, the number of elderly people over 60 in my country reached 250.3 million.

Among them, there are more than 40 million disabled and semi-disabled elderly;

The total number of patients with chronic diseases is 270 million,

More than 50% of patients with chronic diseases have rehabilitation needs. "、


Professor Lan Zhi of the National Rehabilitation Assistive Devices Research Center listed such a set of data at the first Sichuan Rehabilitation Assistive Device Industry Development Exchange Conference held on the afternoon of the 29th. For the elderly, rehabilitation aids play an irreplaceable positive role in improving the quality of life of the elderly and the ability to participate in social activities. At present, the rehabilitation aid industry is still a blue ocean.

Regarding the development of the rehabilitation aid industry, Lan Zhi frankly said that there are still large gaps between Sichuan and Chongqing, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta. These gaps are mainly reflected in the government's emphasis on the level of industry concentration and personnel input.

As far as Sichuan Province is concerned, how to develop the rehabilitation aid industry?

Lan Zhi put forward four suggestions: First, governments at all levels introduced relevant industrial support policies to solve the worries of enterprises; second, attach importance to investment promotion, introduce rehabilitation aid companies in developed regions, fill in the gaps and play the leading role of leading companies. The third is to increase investment in scientific research, attach importance to the role of universities, and promote cross-disciplinary and cross-industry cooperation; fourth is to increase capital investment, which can introduce social capital to solve the current "big industry and small enterprises" dilemma faced by rehabilitation assistive companies.

The development of the industry is inseparable from the choice of the market and consumers, but rehabilitation aids are currently facing problems such as high prices and insufficient purchasing power. Regarding the popularization of rehabilitation aids, Lan Zhi said that rehabilitation aids really need to wait for the increase in consumption capacity. For now, enterprises can form a joint force with the government to allow rehabilitation aids to enter the community and elderly care institutions first, so that the elderly can use them first; at the same time, introduce the insurance system to promote the reform and improvement of payment security, and gradually realize rehabilitation aids. With the goal of walking into the family.
