The climbing machine is very convenient, but the old man calls "can't afford it"!100 yuan once, doubling on holidays?

Look at the dozens of stairs in front of you

Lao Li, who lives in Putuo District, sighed deeply

Em

Since suffering from lung disease a few years ago, it has become particularly difficult for him to go upstairs. Thinking that his building was "not suitable for adding ladders."

At this time, a service project called the "climbing machine" began to enter the horizon of Li Laobo. Inquiring about it, if you do not enjoy the subsidy, the appointment service personnel come to the door of 100 yuan at a time, and the upstairs will be calculated once. "It's too expensive!" After hearing the price, Laobo shook his head straight.

The pricing of "climbing machine"

Let the elderly people in need call "can't afford it"

Many elderly people pass through the Liberation Daily · Shangguan News Message Board

Express their worry

If you use it completely at the market price

There is obvious difficulty in paying for the elderly

It can be relying on the government's investment and it is unrealistic

How to find the balance between the two?

The subsidy has been canceled, the price has risen

The convenience of the "climbing machine" in the mouth of the old people has actually existed in Shencheng for more than ten years. Relying on two loaded rubber rear wheels and responsible front wheels, and multiple safety guarantee measures, the climbing machine can use the climbing device at the bottom to go up and downstairs, or it can be implemented on the flat ground. The wheelchair is favored by many elderly people.

Huang Guoguang, the person in charge of Shanghai Zhanda Industrial Co., Ltd., who has undertaken the reservation service of the 8 district climbing machine appointment services of Shencheng, told reporters that around 2010, its company began to participate in the "science and technology benefit the people" project that the government helped the disabled goes up and down. After the bidding of the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation, we became one of the purchasing service providers. "

The disabled people can make preferential appointments to use "climbing machines" with the disabled certificate. Many old people with inconvenient legs and feet are envious of this. After the three -year pilot pilot of the Municipal Science and Technology Huimin Project, the service continued in various districts and further landed in combination with the "Elderly Livable Community Construction" pilot. Over the years, various districts have promoted it to solve the problem of the elderly in the old community according to the actual needs. "Xuhui District is led by the civil affairs department, and the elderly are used at preferential subsidies; Yangpu and Minhang are promoted by the Disabled Persons' Federation and the elderly. The disabled and the elderly can enjoy it." You can enjoy the service at a price of 2 yuan.

However, in recent years, some changes have taken place. According to Huang Guoguang, as the audit supervision is strengthened, the elderly talents holding a disabled certificate in the purchase services in each district can enjoy the climbing machine service. "It may make the elderly who do not hold a disabled to the elderly feel that the subsidy is canceled, and the price is expensive."

But in fact, various districts and streets in Shanghai are still exploring the cooperation model of optimizing climbing machine services. For example, when Xuhui purchases the number of services every year, it will adjust the number of people in the previous year to meet the needs of more elderly people. In addition, in order to facilitate the appointment of residents, they also set up special service points in several areas with high aging levels to provide convenience for the service party's rapid response; Minhang simply sinks the choice of climbing machine service directly. To the streets. For example, Jiangchuan Road Street directly signed a contract with the "Dazhang Company" in accordance with the actual situation of the elderly people in the area in the area, and the elderly who were less than 65 years old in the area of ​​the area (required street assessment), holding it) Disabled people with physical disability have provided services. For free use of tickets, the number of people can reach about 4,500 people each year.

Why is the market price so much expensive?

However, due to the actual situation, the number of free uses provided by street towns is limited. For example, Jiangchuan Road Street stipulates that eligible elderly people have only 26 times per month, which seems a bit insufficient to quench thirst for some demanders.

Zhou Yuqiang is a patient with uremia and goes to the hospital every week for 3 dialysis. Over the years, his legs and feet have been severely damaged. After each dialysis return, his son needs to carry him upstairs. Last year, he was only 65 years old, and he only applied for the qualification to use the climbing machine. "The streets have effectively solved our difficulties, which is really convenient." But because the number of free use is limited, it is difficult to cover his high -frequency out of demand. He has to carefully calculate and use the 26 times to open the use. "More than 26 times, you have to pay by yourself." What is the market price? "It's almost 100 yuan each time."

As the largest climbing machine service provider in Shanghai, the pricing of the exhibition company represents the average level of the industry. This price is obviously a problem for the elderly who are not enough to "subsidize the threshold". Mr. Wang, who lives in the Mengxi Community in Huangpu District, is already in his 60s. After accidentally stoming his feet last year, he had to ask a security guard to help each time you go downstairs. Once, when I saw that my neighbor Chen was climbing a climbing machine for her mother, she asked her to contact her without spending money. I did not expect that after hearing the situation on the phone, he said that he did not belong to the subsidy. Pay 100 yuan for a single 100 yuan, which makes Mr. Wang very puzzled. "Why is the market price so much expensive?"

Facing the questioning of citizens, Huang Guoguang explained that the current price is comprehensively evaluating the cost of labor and the operation after the operation of the enterprise, and it can only balance the cost. According to him, there are more than 30 people in the customer service team and on -site service teams responsible for the appointment for the appointment. A total of nearly 160 climbing machine equipment for the dependent service team is provided for recycling and use. "The labor cost of the door -to -door service team is relatively high, and it is difficult for operators to recruit." Although the operating principle of climbing machines is simple, in fact, the requirements for climbing machines have a comprehensive requirements for operators. Consciousness and affinity are often trained for 3 months to really get started. "And their working time is long, and the service is out of service from 7 am to 7 pm every day. The loss of the machine is far beyond imagination. "Our machine was imported from Austria. It was originally designed according to the habits of foreign families. It may be used once a few days. However, after the introduction of domestic, the number of equipment is particularly large and the loss is large."

Expert: Encourage multi -social subjects to play a role

On the one hand, the practical difficulties of the elderly group, and the other is the real dilemma that the government cannot fully subsidize. How to grasp the balance? In this regard, Professor Ren Yuan, Institute of Population Research Institute of Fudan University, believes that the demand for "suspended elderly people" for climbing machines will not become the so -called niche demand. "". Behind these needs, it is actually required to strengthen the aging transformation of the community. It is necessary to implement a variety of aging transformation projects. At the same time, it is more diverse in the main body of the aging transformation.

He pointed out that the installation of elevators as the part of the aging transformation, in recent years, has resolved the living needs of some "suspended old people" in Shanghai. However, considering that this measure can not be promoted smoothly in each building. In order to meet the specific needs of the "suspended old man", the aging transformation can consider a variety of strategies, explore the more effective and more effective, more effective, more effective and more effective and more effective and more effective demand of residents. Satisfactory transformation plan. This idea is actually reflected in the "Several Opinions on Further Making Multi -Floor Houses and Elevator in this City". The documents are encouraged to improve through the improvement of barrier -free facilities, providing simple landing equipment services, and guiding residential house replacement. Multiple ways to solve the difficulties of the elderly upstairs. However, Ren Yuan emphasized that "the aging transformation of multi -layer houses includes rich content, such as the construction of barrier -free roads, installation of rail climbing machines, installation elevators and other projects. After your willingness, take a suitable way to advance. "

In addition, Ren Yuan proposed that in order to resolve the real dilemma faced by the climbing machine, more social subjects need to be introduced. "Although we emphasize that the government should serve the people as much as possible, it is simply relying on the government to solve the problem of people's livelihood." He said that in addition to the government, more social funds should be encouraged to invest funds and services. And make full use of market mechanisms to guide more companies to provide climbing machine services or participate in production climbing machines, forming a benign market competition, thereby reducing the cost of use of climbing machines and increasing supply and application of pension services such as climbing machines.
