Early in the morning, the person in charge of the nursing home Deng Jiaden deliberately went to the town to buy mung bean cakes and rice dumplings to prepare snacks for the elderly who were staying in the nursing home. At the same time, he hugged a bundle of Ai leaves and puppets, divided into several copies, and hung on the lintel and windows of the old people's living room according to local traditional customs.

The 61 -year -old Duncadin has taken Haizhou Kangle Nursing Home as his career in the second half of his life.

"The old sisters are happy to get along with each other"

At noon, Deng Jiading's wife Zhang Huaiying made lunch on time. Green pepper fried meat, cucumber fried meat, dried tofu, amaranth, pork rib winter melon soup, hot air, it looks seductive.

A total of 8 elderly people stayed in the nursing home. Whenever a meal is opened, Zhang Huaiying has a fine service. An old man eats a vegetarian and wants to drink food alone. An old man stays in bed and wants her to "move chopsticks".

The eight elderly people who stayed in, the youngest was 75 years old, the largest 93 years old, mostly "semi -disable" old man. According to the characteristics of the elderly, the daily diet of the nursing home has regular diet. In the morning, porridge, two soups at noon, at night, at night.

"Care for the elderly, you have to rely on the elderly. Young people often feel tired and dirty." Deng Jiaden said. In addition to their husband and wife, the nursing home also invited two helpers, one caregiver, one cooking, and they were 60 years old. They were 60 years old. Open outside. In addition to the two days of rest per month, the caregiver usually eats and live in the nursing home 24 hours a day. He always pays attention to the situation of the elderly and makes a record.

The 67 -year -old Zhu Cuihua is a pumping station village at 8 kilometers away. It is a full -time caregiver to clean up, take care of the elderly, change laundry, and eat medicine. She was careful and responsible, and the old people liked her very much and called her "Zhu Sister" intimately. Sometimes, the "semi -disable" elderly people love to lose some temper, "Sister Zhu" can always come up with a way to calm the elderly.

These elderly sisters are very harmonious. The broad bean vine came back from the ground, and they took the small stools to peel the beans together and chatted. In the wind and rain, they rushed to clean up the dry clothes. Zhu Cuihua said, "I am happy to see these old sisters get along with each other, and I am also happy."

Duncadine is the general manager and also assisted in taking care of the elderly. He will patrol the house at 10 o'clock, 12, and 2 o'clock every night to build a quilt, pour water, switch air conditioners, etc. The most important thing is to prevent the elderly's physical discomfort. "These elderly people are old, and they need to be careful when taking care of them, and they are afraid of sudden illness." Deng Jiaden said that last month, the oldest 93 -year -old man "did not eat much" for two days. Go to the hospital for treatment.

In order to monitor the health status of the elderly, the nursing homes regularly ask Sanzhou Village Medicine for the elderly for the elderly. Usually, the elderly keep in touch with their children through videos, and their affection continues. Duncadine said that as long as the elderly do not have a serious condition, children do not need children to worry about in a year and a half.

"Pocket Edition Nursing Home"

Haizhou Kangle Nursing House is the name of Duncatin himself, which is officially identified as "Sanzhou Village Elderly (Children) Day Care Center" because the facilities have not yet reached the standard for nursing homes.

Duncading's nursing home is due to his own family situation.

After graduating from high school, Duncatin had been working in the village cadres for 4 years, and most of the time went out to work.

In 2012, the 83 -year -old mother suddenly stroke, and the two younger brothers worked outside. Duncatin had to resign from the work to take care of his mother and occasionally worked a little work nearby. In the process of taking care of his mother, Duncadin found that many people in the village went out to work, and the elderly at home could not take care of it.

Sanzhou Village is a large village on the side of the Yangtze River. Village director Zhang Xiangyang introduced that there are more than 6,000 household registration population in the village, and more than 2,000 people who work in foreign workers all year round, including the elderly and children. Among the 4,000 people who are left behind, there are more than 600 elderly people over 60 years old. There are about 400 people.

"Many elderly people in the countryside need to take care." Deng Jiaden said. Therefore, he started the idea of ​​running a nursing home. While taking care of his mother, he absorbed other elderly people and allowed young people in the village to work with peace of mind.

In 2018, Duncadin reported to Sanzhou Village for a nursing home. After the application is submitted, from the village to the county, governments at all levels have actively supported. Due to failure to meet the standards and requirements of the nursing home, the local civil affairs department decided to set up a "day care center" in the name of the village office, which was operated by Dungatin.

Duncadine invested nearly 300,000 yuan to replace his three -story houses, with a total area of ​​500 square meters, including 9 single rooms, 3 double rooms, 4 bathrooms, 1 washing room, 1 office, a book of books, a book of books Reading room. A restaurant of about 100 square meters was transformed in the backyard, adding a stove of heating in winter. Fitness facilities were also installed in the leisure backyard and planted several trees.

In the opinion of Duncatin, although the care center is small compared to the pension institutions in the town, the basic facilities are quite complete and are a "pocket nursing home".

There are two main daily expenditures for nursing homes, with a monthly ingredients of about 5,000 yuan, a salary of 3,000 yuan/month, and a chef's salary of 2,000 yuan/month. In order to reduce operating costs, Duncadine grows vegetables and raises chicken.

The charges of nursing homes are fully considered the local farmers' income level, and the elderly custody is 1400 yuan/month. At the same time, according to the disability of the elderly, the fee is slightly floating, up to 1,800 yuan/month. "Low -cost and high -quality rural pension"

After dinner, the elderly in Sanzhou Village gathered in the nursing home one after another. Some people chatted, some people played fitness facilities in the yard, and some people danced square dance.

Unlike other nursing homes closed management, Haizhou Kangle Nursing Home is semi -open management for the elderly in the village and even the surrounding villages, providing event venues, watching TV, playing cards and tea for free.

"At present, nearly 30 people who go to the nursing home every day in the nursing home are between 55 and 70 years old." Duncadine said.

Obviously, Haizhou Kangle Nursing Home has become a place for the spiritual exchanges of rural elderly people. This phenomenon has aroused social attention.

Xia Zhuzhi, an associate professor at the Department of Sociology of Wuhan University and a researcher at the China Rural Governance Research Center of Wuhan University, and his team, specially investigated the Haizhou Kangle Nursing Home twice.

"Low -cost and high -quality rural pensions have begun to take shape in Haizhou Kangle Nursing Home." Xia Zhuzhi believes that this nursing home is based on the reality of rural areas, activate idle houses, consider economic conditions, and use village low -aged elderly people, village doctors and other human resources. Carrying out refined services to realize the low -cost and high -quality life of the elderly in rural areas.

In the context of an elderly society, due to the backward software and hardware in rural areas, the lack of market -oriented and social pension services, the contradiction between the pension of rural pensions, especially left -behind elderly, has become increasingly prominent. Xia Zhuzhi introduced that the current design of the country's pension system has noticed two kinds of people, and the corresponding system design has also been carried out. One is the five guarantee households, the country is unified, and the other is a group with pensions or savings that can go to the middle and high -end pension institutions to carry out pension. However, in response to low -income families, it is mainly migrant workers' families. The small -scale pension institutions in rural areas still lack the corresponding system design.

"Embedded into the village, the exploration of Haizhou Kangle Nursing Home opened a door for rural pensions." Xia Zhuzhi said that rural areas are acquaintances, and people are relatively safe. The pension institutions can implement semi -open management to construct non -staying elderly and staying in. The scene space of the collective activities of the elderly makes the old man feel that the old man feels that he has not been imprisoned, appreciates the sense of comfort and freedom, and increases the spiritual welfare of the elderly.
