Nursing homes are institutions that provide collective housing for the elderly and have relatively complete supporting service facilities.

It is a medical institution that provides patients with long-term medical care, rehabilitation promotion, hospice care and other services, and is an important part of the medical service system.

As the elderly grow older, they generally suffer from various diseases to varying degrees, especially stroke, paralysis and vegetative state. They can't take care of themselves and are prone to complications.

However, home nursing has great limitations because it can't reach the level of professional nursing. Especially for the elderly who are bedridden, if there is an emergency and their families are at a loss, they will often delay the first rescue.

Nursing homes combine the advantages of hospitals and apartments for the elderly and make up for their shortcomings. In particular, some elderly people suffering from chronic diseases and bedridden can not only enjoy the daily life and medical services provided by professionals, but also have low expenses. In case of emergency, the hospital can also rescue in time. So as to achieve a sense of security and medical care for the elderly.

Institutional situation:

It is understood that the total number of beds owned by various old-age care institutions in Beijing is 38,000, which is still far from the old-age care needs of citizens. According to the 11th Five-Year Plan, by 20 10, the total number of old-age beds in the city will reach 50,000, with an average of 2.3 beds per 100 elderly people.

Wu Shimin, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, revealed that in the next three years, Beijing plans to build 654.38 million beds for the aged every year, which is equivalent to building 200,000 square meters of housing every year. At this rate, by 20 10, the total number of beds for the aged in Beijing will reach 68,000, exceeding the target of the 11th Five-Year Plan.

At present, the general nursing homes do not have perfect medical facilities, and the elderly are often sent to the hospital for treatment and care by their families. The medical center fully embodies the medical characteristics. The nurse takes the temperature and blood pressure of the elderly every morning, and carries out nursing according to the examination results.

For example, if you find that the blood sugar of the elderly is high, you should immediately adjust your diet and make recipes for the elderly. Let the family feel at ease and the elderly feel safe. Nursing homes for the aged generally integrate disease prevention, treatment, nursing and hospice care, and are mainly designed for the elderly who are suffering from diseases and lack of care.

It is different from ordinary social pension institutions and ordinary hospitals. It can not only provide daily health care, rehabilitation, life care, fitness and entertainment services for the elderly, but also provide medical assistance and hospice care at any time.
