As with the two sessions in previous years, how to further improve China's home-based, community-based, institutional supplement, combined with medical care service system construction, accelerate the development of the elderly service industry, has become a hot topic for some representatives and members.

We will accelerate the development of community facilities for elderly care

In community service, establish a government funded in the community to build 2000 square metre endowment club, improve the rest, diet, entertainment, health, medical facilities, such as simple, by means of door-to-door service and community care about the elderly care for in the day, domestic service, life care and spiritual comfort and other requirements to provide the corresponding services, It includes setting up dining tables for the elderly, building activity centers for the elderly and carrying out care services for the elderly.

Xu Liping, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a senior technician at the Fourth Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, found that at present, the development of community home-based elderly care services is relatively slow, and the imbalance and insufficiency between urban and rural areas, institutions and home-based community services are still prominent.

To this end, Xu suggested speeding up the construction of community service centers for the elderly, and that communities should have professionals responsible for setting up and managing archives of the elderly in communities, as well as managing institutions that provide services such as daily care, rehabilitation care, assisted eating and walking.

Disabled or partially disabled elderly people are present in every community, especially in older communities. According to this part of the group, the National People's Congress, dawn group founder and chairman of Jiang Ming Suggestions, in the town of old village renovation work plan clear community endowment facilities on the configuration of the standard, such as in urban reconstruction of old residential area increase in housing in 150-500 square meters, as an "endowment escort center" "community old-age care" and other rehabilitation care.

We will intensify efforts to train professional personnel

Community home care service institutions can form different levels of service standards according to the actual bearing capacity of the elderly, and implement paid service and low-compensation service.

In the financing and utilization of elderly care facilities in old urban communities, the government, residents and social forces should refine the mechanism of reasonable sharing of reform funds, and promote social resources to participate in community pension undertakings." "Suggested Jiang Ming.
