Second, the model of home care service-Grandpa Li's later life

On a cold winter day, we came to Grandpa Li's house. He is 88 years old and suffers from various senile diseases. Because the children are busy with work and can't stay with them for a long time, Grandpa Li chose to stay at home for the elderly.

Every morning, Xiao Wang, a nurse in uniform, will appear at Grandpa Li's house on time. Xiao Wang is responsible for his daily life care, including preparing breakfast for him, taking care of hygiene and assisting him in simple exercise. In addition, Xiao Wang is his "health guardian", measuring his blood pressure and blood sugar every day and reporting his physical condition to him in time.

In terms of medical treatment, community hospitals provided "family doctor" service for Grandpa Li. Every week, a doctor will consult him by phone or video to make a personalized health management plan for him. In addition, in case of sudden health problems, the doctor will provide him with online diagnosis and treatment and drug distribution services in time.

In psychological counseling, Xiao Wang will talk to Grandpa Li after work and care about his inner world. At the same time, community volunteers will regularly provide him with psychological counseling and companionship services to help him solve his loneliness and anxiety. In the aspect of legal consultation, community legal advisers provided consulting services for Uncle Li on issues such as property inheritance and maintenance. When necessary, they will also help him deal with family disputes and other issues.
