Accelerate the construction of the basic elderly care service system (without shadow lights)
2023-06-02
Bathing is an ordinary matter for ordinary people, but a difficult task for disabled elderly people. In recent years, "bath assistants" have emerged in Beijing, Shanghai and other places to provide home assisted bathing services for the elderly. Some cities have also actively tried to build elderly bath aid points, mobile bath aid vehicles, etc., focusing on solving the problem of difficult bathing for disabled elderly people, improving the quality of home care for the elderly, and making their lives more dignified. Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Construction of the Basic Elderly Care Service System", calling for accelerating the establishment of a basic elderly care service system that covers all elderly people, has clear rights and responsibilities, provides moderate and sustainable protection, and continuously enhances the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the elderly. Since China entered an aging society at the end of the 20th century, the number and proportion of the elderly population have continued to grow. It is expected to enter moderate aging during the 14th Five Year Plan period and severe aging around 2035. Basic elderly care services refer to basic, inclusive, and inclusive services provided by the state directly or through certain means to support relevant entities to provide elderly people, aiming to achieve a sense of security and support for the elderly, including material assistance, care services, care services, and other contents. The objects, content, standards, and other aspects of basic elderly care services are adjusted according to the dynamic economic and social development. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the focus is on the basic elderly care service needs of the elderly when facing difficulties such as disability, lack of care, and inability that families and individuals are unable to cope with. Promoting the access of all elderly people to basic elderly care services, settling and taking care of the elderly, is conducive to family harmony, intergenerational harmony, and social harmony. At the same time, implementing institutional arrangements to provide for the elderly can alleviate the widespread anxiety of elderly care in society, alleviate the family pressure of young people with "old age and young age", stabilize people's expectations for elderly care and life, enhance young people's willingness to have children, liberate more labor from caring for the elderly at home, and promote long-term balanced population development. Develop and implement a list of basic elderly care services. The list system is the core system for the construction of the basic elderly care service system. It should provide a clear basis for governments at all levels to fulfill their duties and elderly people to enjoy corresponding rights through the form of a list. The government must fulfill its commitments, and elderly people can achieve "order according to the order". The construction of the basic elderly care service system is a long-term task, with the main function of keeping the bottom line and ensuring basic needs. It is necessary to fully leverage the government's leading role. We will do our best, continuously increase investment, accelerate the equalization of basic elderly care services, and gradually improve the level of security; We must act within our capabilities, taking into account the financial capacity of all levels and not exceeding the stage of economic and social development. Establish a precise service proactive response mechanism. We need to understand the basic situation of the elderly and their needs for elderly care services, and promote efficient connection between the supply and demand of basic elderly care services. Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the abilities of the elderly, develop and improve unified national evaluation standards, promote nationwide mutual recognition of evaluation results, and use them by various departments as needed. Relying on the national integrated government service platform, we will promote cross departmental data sharing, establish a precise identification and dynamic management mechanism for elderly people in difficulties, refine institutional arrangements linked to the permanent population and service radius, and gradually realize the transition from "finding services for people" to "finding services for people". Promote the identification and treatment of elderly people with disabilities
