What are the benefits of holding a group to support the elderly?

Everyone is facing the problem of providing for the aged. For me who is close to the elderly, "holding a group to support the elderly?" This mode of providing for the aged is indeed a good choice and a completely acceptable way of providing for the aged. It is necessary to "build a multi-level old-age service system based on home, supported by community and supplemented by institutions", "fully liberalize the old-age service market and support various market entities to increase the supply of old-age services and products through purchasing services and equity cooperation". "Holding a group to support the elderly? It is a kind of "actively responding to the aging population, building a policy system and social environment for providing for the elderly, filial piety and respect for the elderly, promoting the combination of medical care and nursing, and accelerating the development of aging undertakings and industries". The new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" is a useful exploration and innovation to solve the problem of supporting the elderly and realize the goal of "supporting the elderly" for the whole people. From the perspective of the venue, it is the organizer who uses his own property to "support the elderly". In a sense, organizers and other elderly people have formed a de facto relationship between landlord and tenant. From the perspective of the cost of providing for the aged, the expenses such as food, water, electricity and gas are shared equally by the elderly who "hold a group", and everyone shares a part of the "housework" within their ability according to the actual situation, which has some characteristics and advantages of mutual assistance for the aged. The old people who participate in "holding a group" are basically busy children or not around, have a certain economic foundation, and are still young and can take care of themselves. The organizers also have preferences for the elderly who participate in the "group", hoping to find those elderly people with the same language and like-mindedness. These are the characteristics of the integration of circumstances and interests. The advantages of holding a group for the aged are: 1. The new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" combines the advantages of home-based care, community-based care and institutional care. At present, the old-age service system is a multi-level old-age service system based on home, supported by community, supplemented by institutions and combined with medical care and nursing. The advantages of home-based care for the aged lie in family affection, mutual help among family members, and barrier-free spiritual comfort. However, home-based care for the aged is different from traditional home-based care for the aged. Home-based care for the aged is mainly a socialized service, which must rely on a perfect, convenient and accessible home-based care service support system. The advantage of community pension is that the elderly don't have to leave their familiar living environment and interpersonal relationships. On the one hand, the elderly at home can take advantage of the home-based care services provided by the community. On the other hand, the community can provide day care and short-term care for the elderly, and solve the problem of temporary and short-term unattended care for the elderly at home by family members. However, community pension is often limited by the lack of community service facilities, and it is difficult to carry out it effectively. The advantage of institutional pension is that the software and hardware are relatively perfect, there is a set of formal nursing procedures and norms, professional nursing staff and corresponding medical services, but the spiritual comfort of the elderly is difficult to satisfy. The new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" combines the affection and spiritual comfort of home-based care, the familiar environment and interpersonal relationship of community care, and the formal nursing procedures and norms of institutional care for the elderly, forming its own advantages. 2. The new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" will help to make full use of valuable old-age resources. Due to various reasons, there are abandoned school buildings, institutions and enterprise workshops in urban and rural areas of China. In rural areas, with a large number of young and middle-aged laborers entering cities, the so-called "hollowing out" has appeared in rural areas, and a large number of houses are vacant; In cities, on the one hand, the housing conditions of residents have improved, on the other hand, empty-nest families have increased, and empty-nest elderly people are alone in big houses. These abandoned schools and factories, vacant houses and surplus houses are the most scarce and precious resources for the development of the aged care service industry. In order to promote the development of China's old-age service industry, the country takes out a piece of old-age land from the urban and rural land use index every year, but the shortage of old-age land has not been alleviated. In fact, with the "hard constraint" of land resources becoming stronger and stronger, it is no longer feasible to rely on the government to allocate land for the elderly. The only way is to make full use of abandoned and idle houses, including private houses. The houses used in the new mode of "holding a group to support the elderly" are the organizers' own surplus houses or their own houses. 3. The new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" can alleviate the pressure of "institutionalization" to some extent. In recent years, all levels and social forces have increased investment, and a large number of pension institutions have been built, rebuilt and expanded, which has significantly enhanced the supplementary role of the institutional pension service system. In fact, from the perspective of the elderly, there are many young and well-off elderly people. If there are other better choices, these elderly people can be effectively "deinstitutionalized", thus leaving valuable bed resources to the disabled and demented elderly people with stronger needs to meet the rigid needs of these elderly people to stay in the old-age care institutions. The old people who participate in the new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" are only relatively young, healthy and able to take care of themselves. Therefore, the new model of "holding a group to support the elderly" can play a role of "de-institutionalizing" or "delaying institutionalization" and play an unexpected role in solving the problem of providing for the elderly.
