What details should I pay attention to when going to a nursing home?

Special precautions and chat skills in nursing homes;

1. Because the physiological functions of the elderly such as swallowing are not as good as those of young people, when bringing snacks to the elderly, avoid sending foods (including biscuits and bananas) that may cause suffocation to the elderly. If you take it, cut it into small pieces and watch the old man eat it before leaving. If you can't monitor their consumption, it's best not to send dangerous food to the elderly.

These old people have rich life experiences and life experiences, which are their proud wealth. So they don't want to be pitied ideologically, but because they are old, they are regarded as weak physically, which often touches the inner self-esteem of the elderly. Therefore, when we visit the elderly, we should not put them in a weak position in language communication and do not hurt their self-esteem. You can talk to the elderly by asking for advice, which will easily melt your feelings and deepen your understanding. The biggest psychological problem of the elderly living in nursing homes is loneliness.

Being away from the familiar living environment for decades, from relatives and friends, and being in a semi-closed welfare home will make the elderly feel depressed and lonely. Many old people think that chatting is a spiritual exchange, and chatting with old people is an important content for us to go to nursing homes. Chatting with the elderly can reduce their loneliness, make them happy, improve their confidence in life, make them feel the value of their own survival, feel the warmth of society, and regain their courage and confidence in life.

3, into the chat, we can ask the old man's name first, which is also convenient to call. Before chatting with the elderly, you can introduce the volunteer organization and your basic situation. For example, you can say: We are volunteers from Changzhi to carry out voluntary activities. We come from all walks of life. My name is * * *, and you can call me * * *.

4, everyone's temperament is different, pay attention to the changes of the elderly in the process of chatting with the elderly, and speak as slowly and gently as possible. Take the initiative to ask the old man what we can do for you, and try to chat, catch up with the old, talk about some homely things and tell some new things on the topics that the old man likes. Chatting needs "* * * the same language". Many elderly people have experienced some special historical stages and events. When the elderly mention a certain historical period or talk about their previous work, volunteers should respond and even talk about their own views, so that the elderly will feel happy and excited when they meet bosom friends.

In the process of chatting, making the elderly feel comfortable is the only principle of voluntary service. Therefore, we must be careful not to talk to the elderly about topics that may cause sadness to the elderly, and try not to talk to the elderly about children, wives and old friends! Because their children are busy at work, many old people come to live in nursing homes. Although they can understand their children's difficulties, they will still feel sad. In the practice of service, some old people are often proud of their children's achievements in their work and shed tears because they can't live with their children. This kind of chat can not only make the old people happy, but also cause their mood fluctuations, which is not conducive to their health.

6. Past glory and achievements, as well as decades of life experience and advice to young people, are the favorite topics for old people to talk about. In service practice, old people always talk about their work and life when they were young, describe social customs and historical events at that time, feel the development and progress of society, and then give various suggestions to volunteers. Through such a topic, the old people can be filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment in life, can tell young volunteers about history and impart experience, and will make the old people feel their own value and strengthen their confidence in life. So this topic can be talked more!

7. A secure life is the guarantee for the happiness of the old people. Living in a semi-closed environment for a long time, the old people will definitely feel bored and irritable, and they will also vent their dissatisfaction when chatting with volunteers. Volunteers must not echo the old people's criticism of nursing homes, but should be patient in persuasion and do a good job in explanation. On the surface, criticizing the nursing home with the elderly is to help the elderly vent their anger. In fact, it has deepened their dissatisfaction with the living environment, made the elderly more and more uncomfortable with the life in nursing homes, triggered more daily contradictions, and caused great harm to their emotions and health. If you meet an old man who keeps telling you, silence is golden. You can be a loyal listener and never argue with old people.

8. Finally, at the end of each chat, you can give the old people some "homework" so that they can have something to think about and do before the next chat. For example, ask the old man to tell a story next time, so that the old man can look forward to the arrival of the next volunteer and feel that life has hope. Remember the names and related experiences of the old people through the first chat, and reserve some knowledge related to the occupations that the old people used to engage in, so as to better communicate and shorten the distance next time.
