  Bathing is supported by a shower stool, daily life is assisted by assistive devices, and delicious meals can be eaten in the elderly canteen at home … … In recent years, all localities and departments have taken the aging transformation as the starting point, innovated ways and means, and actively created a livable environment for the elderly. The sense of acquisition, happiness and security of the elderly have been continuously improved, and the construction of an elderly-friendly society has taken positive steps.

  According to the data, by the end of 2022, there were more than 280 million elderly people aged 60 and over in China, accounting for 19.8% of the total population, of which 210 million were aged 65 and over, accounting for 14.9% of the total population. With the aging problem becoming more and more prominent, the transformation of social adaptation to aging is becoming an important task. What is the main work and innovation highlights of the aging transformation? This newspaper interviewed this.

  Home improvement

  Let life be less "bump"

  The implementation of home aging transformation is an important guarantee to actively cope with the aging population, promote the development of healthy aging and meet the new expectations of the elderly for a better life.

  "After the transformation, my own actions are convenient, and the children have a lot of peace of mind." A few days ago, Hu Bizhen, an 80-year-old man, was very satisfied with the aging renovation at home.

  Hu Bizhen is a resident of Wenxin Garden Community in Xingzhouba Community, Gao Qiao Street, Huichuan District, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. After an accidental fall, her leg was broken, and she was inconvenient to move. Her daily life was taken care of by four children in turn, and there was a high demand for the construction of family beds for the aged.

  After the introduction of the policy of home-based bed construction in Zunyi City, the family members applied to the community actively through the door-to-door publicity of the civil affairs staff. After the three-level examination and approval of the community where the elderly live, the streets under their jurisdiction and the Civil Affairs Bureau, the professional team was entrusted to make a door-to-door investigation and analysis, and the specific content of the transformation of Hu Bizhen’s home-based bed for the elderly was determined.

  In this transformation, the original balcony was demolished for barrier-free access transformation, and rubber ramps were designed at the parts with height differences. Now the elderly can operate their own electric wheelchairs to go out; In the bedroom, the nursing bed suitable for the elderly, toilet chair, nightlight and other assistive devices are added, which reduces the risk of the elderly falling from the bed at night and facilitates the elderly to go to the toilet at night; A toilet and an armrest are installed in the bathroom to facilitate the elderly to go to the toilet and get up, and a shower chair and an L-shaped armrest are provided to facilitate the elderly to bathe.

  "The construction of family pension beds has solved the care difficulties for the elderly like Hu Bizhen, brought convenience and security to the lives of the elderly, and also reduced the pressure of family care." The relevant person in charge of Zunyi Civil Affairs Bureau told this newspaper that at present, Zunyi City is actively building a "15-minute old-age service circle" to further expand the effective supply of basic old-age services at home and in the community through government guidance, policy support, financial subsidies and market operation, and solve the "last mile" problem of old-age services. At the same time, we will use the wisdom management service platform for the aged to promote the informatization and intelligent development of home-based aged care services.

  Home aging renovation is a comprehensive project, not simply installing a certain aging product. According to Ou Yuling, the head of a company engaged in aging renovation project in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, the aging renovation is mainly divided into hardware, assistive devices and intelligence. In the current renovation, most of the hardware renovation, such as anti-skid renovation of kitchen and bathroom, squatting to sit, wire and line renovation, and installation of barrier-free handrails, etc.

  "Many families tend to ignore the importance of assistive devices and smart devices for the elderly," Ou Yuling suggested that families with elderly people should consider equipped with walking sticks, four-corner crutches or smart crutches with various practical functions such as lighting, radio and alarm. Buy a smart medicine box that can provide regular reminder service; Families of disabled elderly people can buy assistive devices and intelligent devices such as bedsore-proof cushions, electric wheelchairs and one-button alarm pull rope buttons.

  Recently, the Urban Construction Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has organized and compiled the "Guidance Manual for the Aging Renovation of Urban Houses", starting with promoting the aging renovation of homes, so that the elderly can live more comfortably and comfortably. It is understood that the manual has formed 47 key points in seven aspects, such as universal transformation, household space, living room (room), bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and balcony, to meet the needs of urban elderly people’s home aging transformation, which provides a systematic, simple and feasible transformation scheme and technical path for urban home aging transformation, which can help the elderly to improve their awareness of home aging transformation and enhance the technical level of home aging transformation in the industry.

  The "minor renovation" of adapting to the elderly at home bears the "great happiness" of the daily life of the elderly, which can make the life of the elderly less "bumpy" and have a safe and convenient living environment.

  In recent years, various localities and departments have continued to promote the aging transformation of homes, improve facilities and services: the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments proposed to support 2 million families with special difficulties, disability and disability to implement aging transformation during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period; Shanghai supports the establishment of a unified platform for the aging transformation of the family environment in the city, and subsidizes eligible objects; Chongqing has continued to carry out the "three assistance" actions of helping meals, bathing and doctors in grassroots communities, and accelerated the pilot construction of family beds for the aged and the aging transformation of homes. On the basis of meeting the basic living needs, safety and convenience needs of the elderly through the aging transformation at home, some areas have also introduced smart devices such as flashing vibrating doorbell, and at the same time, measures such as setting up nursing beds and configuring aging dining tables and chairs have been taken to enrich the supply of home services and further improve the quality of home life of the elderly.

  Elderly food aid

  Eat warm rice at home.

  Three meals a day, four seasons fireworks. In the small rice bowl, there is a big livelihood. Clean and warm environment, nutritious meals … … In recent years, guided by the actual needs of the elderly, many places have set up flexible and diverse catering service systems for the elderly according to local conditions, so that the elderly can have a warm meal at home and taste happiness. In July this year, the Three-year Action Plan (2023-2025) issued by the general offices (offices) of 13 departments including the Ministry of Commerce clearly proposed to explore the development of community canteens and establish a catering service network for the elderly.

  At noon, I walked into the elderly canteen in Jinhu Community, Jinggang Town, Shushan, Hefei City, Anhui Province, and the thick food was fragrant. The dining hall is spacious and bright, the tables and chairs are clean and tidy, and the dishes are rich and varied: roasted meat with dried plum, fried bean sprouts, fried vegetables, roe, and vegetable egg soup … … Old people are sitting at the table, enjoying delicious meals.

  Grandma Wang, 72, is a frequent visitor to the dining hall for the elderly and comes here for dinner almost every day. "I live alone, and it is inconvenient to cook. It is very convenient to come to the community canteen to eat. Every meal has many patterns and tastes good. In addition, there are gifts for charging cards and discounts for swiping cards, which is cheap and good, which solves my eating problem well!" Grandma Wang said.

  "Our recipes follow the seasons, and the cooking of dishes also pays attention to the combination of vegetarian dishes and balanced nutrition." The person in charge of the community canteen introduced that the canteen can radiate the needs of the people in 10 surrounding communities.

  Community canteens for the elderly like this have spread all over Hefei urban and rural areas. Hefei has also established a subsidy system for the elderly food service, implemented subsidies for the construction and operation of elderly canteens and elderly food outlets, and appropriately granted dining subsidies according to the economic difficulties of the elderly. For qualified catering service institutions for the elderly, policies such as tax reduction and exemption and preferential prices for electricity, water, gas and heat will be implemented to attract more qualified enterprises to join the catering service for the elderly.

  In many places, the food-assisting points have also introduced intelligent ordering and settlement equipment to solve the problems of congestion and inconvenient payment for the elderly at the dining point, and optimize the food-assisting services for the elderly. Some elderly people with limited mobility can just move their fingers on their mobile phones and choose to deliver meals to their homes, so they can eat hot meals without leaving home.

  At 6 o’clock in the morning, the community canteen of Guzhen Good Neighborhood Service Center in Luodian Town, Baoshan District, Shanghai started a busy day. Collecting, inspecting, cleaning and cooking vegetables … … At 9 o’clock in the morning, the delivery meal was ready, and the delivery staff began to pack and repackage according to the order requirements on the "smart mobile phone ordering system" applet. Lunch boxes are sent to the incubator in batches according to the predetermined number of copies, and then sent to the home of the orderer by the catering car.

  At 11 noon, carrying a lunch box and going up to the eighth floor, the rider skillfully delivered the lunch to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang said with satisfaction: "Now it is very convenient to order on the mobile phone. Every day, the food sent from the canteen can be delivered on time. When it is received, it is still hot. We eat clean and the hygiene is assured."

  On Aunt Zhang’s mobile phone, open the cloud platform on the "smart mobile phone ordering system" applet, and click on the community canteen of the Guzhen Neighbourhood Service Center in Luodian Town, which shows that it is delivered to the door on weekdays, and the daily package is 16 yuan … … From the platform, you can see the ordering time and package price of each elderly person.

  As a street town that has realized the whole process management of online meal reservation, Luodian Town adopts the meal reservation management system to provide online booking and ordering channels for elderly residents and elderly families, and to provide digital tools for ensuring the safety of each meal for the elderly. The elderly or children can order food on a daily, weekly or monthly basis through the online channel of food assistance service. Orders are directly synchronized in the management background of canteen merchants, and the canteen takes orders and completes the closed loop of food delivery service, which changes the traditional neighborhood Committee’s help booking mode and advance payment settlement mode.

  At the same time, considering that some elderly people are not skilled in operating the mobile APP system, Luodian Town provides the service of ordering food for residents and village cadres, and the "one-click" operation can easily realize the "one-meal hot meal" dining service. Old people who eat in the canteen can also "brush their faces" to pay, thus avoiding the risk of losing their cards.

  "Through ‘ Intelligent face brushing+code scanning to help meals ’ With the development of intelligent system, the community dining hall for the elderly can help the elderly enjoy a more convenient dining experience. We also give targeted subsidies to specific groups, such as the elderly aged 60 and over, retired military personnel, and low-income and low-income poor people. " The relevant person in charge of Luodian Town Social Affairs Office told this newspaper.

  According to Li Guohua, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee, the construction of community elderly canteens should be based on "government-run", encourage "market-oriented" and advocate "social assistance" to ensure inclusiveness, public welfare and service. For example, the elderly canteen will be included in the "15-minute life circle" plan, and the density of the elderly canteen will be improved by means of venue leasing and guiding transformation; Encourage market diversification mode, guide private enterprises, mixed ownership enterprises and other market entities to participate in the operation, management and construction of the elderly canteen, and promote the elderly canteen to be affordable, long-term and well-run through model innovation.

  Digital life

  "Silver-haired people" can also surf the Internet.

  "The words in the drug instructions are very small. My wife and I should always look at them with a magnifying glass. Sometimes the dose is adjusted. If you want to see what precautions you have to take the medicine, you have to ask your child for help. " Grandma Chen, who lives in Yuetan Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, needs long-term medication because of chronic diseases, but the drug instructions that are as small as ants increase her difficulty in understanding drugs.

  With the deepening of China’s aging population, the prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly has increased, and the elderly drug users have become increasingly large. Drug instructions seem trivial, but they are related to the safety of patients’ medication. In recent years, many places have explored the aging transformation of drug instructions. National Medical Products Administration recently issued the "Pilot Work Plan for Aging Reform of Drug Instructions (Draft for Comment)" to further optimize the management of drug instructions.

  In addition to the aging modification of drug instructions, Dr. Sun Yange from the Women’s Health Department of Yuetan Community Health Service Center of Fuxing Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University found a new way and made a new exploration.

  As a doctor who has been rooted in grass-roots community hospitals for many years, Sun Yange is good at diagnosing diseases in gynecology and osteoporosis, and often meets elderly patients who come to consult how to use drugs.

  Since April this year, with the help of Tencent Zhiying platform and artificial intelligence technology, Sun Yange has created her own digital avatar, entered the text of doctor’s advice, medication methods, precautions and other text contents, and just waited for a few minutes to generate a doctor’s advice video with subtitles, which was broadcast by the digital doctor "Sun". It can be given to patients everywhere, and can be watched by scanning the QR code with WeChat.

  In these digital doctor’s advice videos, Sun Yange not only introduces patients with key information such as drug indications, medication methods and medication frequency, but also reminds them of life precautions during medication according to patients’ conditions. Through the digital video of "text+video+audio", elderly patients can see clearly and understand clearly. Elderly patients can also watch it repeatedly by scanning the code, so that they no longer have to worry about returning to the hospital for consultation many times because they can’t remember the medication method.

  "I have a bad memory and often forget what the doctor said. With this video function, I can watch it again and again." Grandma Chen, who came to see a doctor, commented on the function of digital doctor’s advice video.

  Sun Yange told the author that there are several doctors in Yuetan Community Health Service Center where she is now, just like her, trying to make digital orders.

  Nowadays, with the popularity of the Internet and digital technology, intelligent operation has almost become the "standard" in most life scenes, from living payment and medical treatment to transportation, dining and entertainment. However, some elderly people are not skilled in operating the increasingly digital livelihood services. The insiders believe that there is not an insurmountable "gap" between digital technology and the elderly. On the contrary, convenient digital technology can help the elderly to better participate in social activities and improve their quality of life. It is the key to achieve this goal that digital technology accelerates the aging transformation.

  Products suitable for aging are more yuan. Voice broadcast, remote assistance, dialect recognition … … In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have guided and organized relevant enterprises to focus on high-frequency service scenarios related to the daily life of the elderly, such as travel, shopping and communication, and further promoted the aging transformation of digital technology and achieved a series of results. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also continuously improved the aging standard system, and defined the specific technical requirements for aging functions such as screen display, audio control and remote assistance of smart terminal products such as mobile phones and color TVs. Continue to guide enterprises to develop smart and healthy old-age products that are simple and easy to use.

  In the digital travel scene, the railway 12306APP launched the aging function, which not only made the ticket purchasing interface simpler and the font larger, but also added a one-click ticket purchasing function. Gaode Map APP enlarges the font and optimizes the page design style in the "Elder Edition", highlighting the places where the elderly often go, such as public toilets, hospitals, banks, supermarkets, parks, etc., and can display walking routes and public transportation routes with one click.

  Nowadays, we chat, watch news and shop in Pinduoduo with "big font" mode on WeChat, and buy tickets and pay electricity bills with "elder mode" Alipay & HELIP; … Some commonly used apps are more friendly to the elderly after aging transformation, and "silver-haired people" can also surf the Internet conveniently. At present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has instructed 1,735 websites and mobile apps commonly used by the elderly to complete the aging transformation and pass the evaluation. With the acceleration of digital technology’s aging transformation, more and more "silver-haired people" enjoy the convenience of digital life.
