On Sunday (April 30) at noon, beside the very railway station in Pingxi Old Street, New Taipei City, tourists are full of sky lanterns.
The sky lanterns full of blessings rose, and as the east wind blows towards the mountains and forests on the west of the old street.There, there was a group of elderly people, holding the long bamboo poles with hooks, and I was so eager that the sky lanterns fell soon, letting them recycle the skeleton, and handed it over to the store to cash out.
Because the 83 -year -old mother who loves to pick up the sky lanterns falls in the mountains, no one knows. Chen Ruixi, a 65 -year -old construction site, will pick up for his mother.The store will take a regular driving to collect it, one to 10 yuan (NT $, the same below, the same, S $ 0.43).On April 30, he picked up 10, and his mother could earn 100 yuan pocket money.
This is the daily scene of the oldest community in Taiwan.According to the United Nations definition, more than 21 % of the population over 65 years old is Super-Aged Society.Two years later, Taiwan will be promoted to the old society, and Pingxi, located outside the outskirts of the New North, will make a living in the city due to the decline of coal mining and young people in the city.
Wu Mingxian (46 years old), the chairman of the Longan Community Development Association in Pingxi District, said that as of the end of 2022, 31.7%of the 4,300 people in Pingxi had exceeded 65 years, but the local household registration in the local area was in Pingxi.Living in a city, the elderly who live in Pingxi are actually more than half, and can be called the "extreme aging" village.
Wu Mingxian is the son of miners. He has been a supervisor in the bank. In order to take care of the cancer mother, he returned to his hometown 11 years ago as a guide. He also assisted the non -profit organization "one grain of wheat" to set up a public centers.Four years ago, her mother died. After Wu Mingxian cried, she looked at the aunts in their hometown as mothers, and devoted more attention to the community creation of the benefit of the crowd.
Make the elderly feel the needs of society
He said, the key is to make all the elderly feel the need for society.Taking the Public Old Center as an example, they asked the 70 -year -old elderly to cook vegetables and wipe the table, the 80 -year -old elderly man pulled the vegetables from the field, and went out at the age of 90 to enjoy it.In the afternoon, there were anti -drop and muscle training, as well as painting, sewing and handicraft activities. The guide planned the exhibition for the old man's works, and transferred tourists as a prize question and answer gift, and then guided the donation to the kitchen and local schools.
In order to reverse the stereotype of "old and poor", Wu Mingxian has brought 40 elderly people in the past four years to form the largest Santa team in Taiwan.The pit is dressed as a ghost and told tourists' childhood ghost stories.
After working for many years, Wu Mingxian said to the folks that the most wanted to do: he hopes to pursue "the sense of happiness of the whole age" for his hometown.good education.
Over the years, he has encouraged the young farmers to leave farmland with like -minded partners to assist them in selling agricultural products. It also designed different tasks for the community according to the expertise of each person.Young people are requested to return to their hometown twice a month to serve as a community hydropower for the elderly.
In order to allow young people to stay in their hometown, he cooperates with the district public office, builds a storm in a storm that can play in rainy days, and strives to free buses from the municipal government to facilitate residents to shop in the urban area.You can go from home to school every day.
Wu Mingxian emphasized teamwork and determined that a person ran fast, but a group of people could go far.He and his partners also participated in Fireflies rehabilitation and guides, developed in -depth tourism, and invited enterprises to participate in picking up the sky every month to engage in "Jingshan" public welfare.
He admits that the sky lanterns float to the vegetable garden and residential houses. If the fire causes fire, it will be defined as a natural disaster and cannot get claims., Reduce fire."I hope to encourage enterprises to permanent the concept of ESG (environment, social responsibility, corporate governance), let the elderly play games, send them materials as gifts, no need to adventure to pick up sky lanterns."
In the past, taking care of depression Mother now serves disabled elderly people
Zheng Wenhua, a 64 -year -old home career (referred to as resident) who served in Taipei, also turned Xiaoai into great love with his mother.
He said that the late mothers experienced car accidents and heart bypass surgery, and were troubled by depression in their later years.In order to concentrate on taking care of his mother, his sister chose to be single. In the later period, due to the pressure of taking care of the pressure day and night, he left Taipei to the countryside of Nantou to make your body and mind adjust your body and mind.
Zheng Wenhua said that he took over in this case, often got up in the middle of the night, and accompanied his mother to chat for hours to relieve worries, so he was used to sleeping and getting up early.
He admits: "We all want parents to be healthy, slowly aging and easy to take care of, but look forward to looking forward to it, since it is a family, I still have to face it. I found that many people are like me.A sense of weakness, even if you are ill, need more resources and help. "
After his mother died 20 years ago, Zheng Wenhua found that many of the churches had a weak elderly elders who were eager to visit and pushed him to study professional courses from the hospital after retiring the army, and he was a full -time home.
With the consent of the family members of the case, the reporter went to Wenshan District, Taipei City on April 12 to observe that he came to the door to provide home care services for Zhu Zhengnan (81 years old) for 13 years of retired merchants (81 years old), who came to the door.Teach him simple gymnastics, bathe him, and chat with him, let the maid accompany the slightly dementia wife out to shop, which is breathable.
Zheng Wenhua said that Taiwan’s health insurance and long -term care services (referred to as Changzhao) network gradually improved, providing various care for the elderly for living alone, illness, disability, or dying.Specific personnel evaluate the needs, and use resources to "aging locally and support it nearby."
However, he found that while taking care of demand and the surge in government resources, frontline training needs to be improved.The company that provided care of services was sprung up like a rain. Some industry players did not provide enough training, so they allowed home photo staff to "try to hire", and even the chaos of government subsidies for false reports.
Zheng Wenhua said that the key is the quality and mentality of service, and should strengthen the new experience inheritance and workplace training mechanism with old -fashioned experience."Some cases of lords will thank you enthusiastically, but some are foreign helpers or foreign workers. If you only follow your feelings, it is difficult to do it for a long time. You must first confirm the value of the service.
undertaking social security network vulnerabilities can reduce children's sacrifice
Under a limited government budget, should you give priority to the loopholes of the Social Security Network and letChildren need a major sacrifice for personal happiness because of taking care of weak parents?
Xu Guoqiang (51 years old), the general director of the Community Care Service Department of the Republic of China Hongxinzi Association, confirmed his life -saving karma to serve the weakest elderly people.He is currently in the university and has been a member of the evaluation members who take care of and care for many elderly communities. He has also led a government team to Japan and Nordic inspections.
He shared a case that made him emotion: a dementia at the elderly centers during the day, and his only son had a high salary in the United States and studied for a doctorate in chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology.The dish wissed situation deteriorated in the later period, and he couldn't take a bath and eat when he returned home. Therefore, his son resolutely resigned and gave up a degree that he graduated in one year.Essence
Xu Guoqiang said that the filial son had no regrets and was willing to change his life planning for his father, but everyone was regrettable. "If there is a long -term photo system, the son can complete the last year's studies and come back."
He admits that there is still no ideal recipe for similar situations.If the elderly living alone cannot take care of themselves, they can only be sent to the caregivers.If it is too difficult to take care of, many institutions are unwilling to accept it, even if they stay in, they can only provide physical constraints (tied) or chemical constraints (taking medicine).
He believes that under the circumstances of limited resources, the government and the elderly who subsidize their relatively healthy subsidies to live in the security care institution, it is better to improve the subsidies of such particularly difficult care of cases and make the institution willing to allocate more resources to take care of them.Provide necessary support for family members during the transition period.
A aging society becomes a major trend enterprise or needs training to deal with the needs of silver hair
Scholars believe that aging society has become a major trend, and decoration staff must improve service quality. Enterprises may also need special personnel training to meet the needs of silver -haired people.
Xu Guoqiang, who is also a lecturer at the Department of Health Management and Long -term Care of Taipei Medical University as a lecturer, said that when the 65 -year -old population exceeds 21%, aging and declining childization will further evolve into four or five adults on the street.The demand will change.
He believes that in addition to taking care of the weak and the elderly, the elderly who live in the elderly, the decrexy also needs to be further trained to cooperate with physical therapists to understand the elderly's personality, design activities and textbooks for them, improve cognitive functions, train themselves, and take care of themselves.ability.
He also taught artificial intelligence courses in the university to explore that through more human -machine collaboration, let the machine make trivial routine business, and let the decoration staff concentrate on talking to the elderly and improve the quality of service.
Xu Guoqiang said that if you want to implement the "aging in the local area, you will be nearby", unless you can't afford to bed, you should avoid letting the elders live in a security care institution.If you can still take care of yourself, you can receive "the highest cost -effective" day -to -day service near the home home, obtain professional services such as social workers, physical therapists, etc. At the same time, establish a more comprehensive community self -help and neighborhood mutual assistance network, such as in community stores, such as community storesEstablish a "eyeliner" to master the abnormal dynamics of the elderly.
He said that in a super -aging society, the high -labor -intensive industries will move out, and the elderly will increase their care and care demand. More dependent training and professional certifications need to be expected. It is foreseeable that more enterprises need to arrange special personnel training.Teach employees to respond to the needs of the elderly and prevent fraud.
According to the data of the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan, the disabled population in Taiwan is as many as 1.19 million, of which 550,000 or nearly half are old people over 65 years old.
Xu Guoqiang said that the development of Taiwan ’s social welfare policy is relatively complete, professional in professionals, meticulous division of labor, and smooth education and service systems. However, the disadvantage is that many policy transplantation foreign experience and the lack of coordination and integration capabilities of various ministries.Factors often lack forward -looking considerations.
Encouraging the elderly alone is a key challenge
In order to care for active elderly people, lonely elderly, and weak elderly people, Taiwan and Singapore have "ABC" countermeasures. The key challenge is to encourage the elderly to get out of the corner.
Ding Zhongyi (30 years old), director of the Yonghe base of the China Changzhao Association, said in an interview that in the Taiwan Changzhao System, the government regularly evaluates the needs of cases and outsourced the functions of the case and budget management to the private unit A.Resources are performed to unit B, while Unit C is a long -lane long photo station with comprehensive functions.
Ding Zhongyi estimates that there are more than 4,700 lanes in 368 townships in Taiwan.Xu Guoqiang evaluated that if the community care base that simply provides a venue is added, there are more than 7,000 strongholds.
Singapore is currently promoting the "ABC" triple -tube approach to provide healthy elderly people with active Active Aging activities, provides Befriending for lonely elderly, and provide care for the elderly for the elderly.The 270 -year -old service facilities in the island will be fully upgraded to the "ElderCare Center" after 2025. From the service age apartment or rental group, to all the elderly for the community.
The reporter visited the Yonghe base and the lane Changzhao station operated by the long -term cafe model. It was found that there were a lot of functions. There were cafes for the elderly to communicate, query long -term services, and classrooms for the elderly to take sports classes and talents.Lessons also provide various free assistives, health testing and residential training.
Ding Zhongyi said that in recent years, the government has provided a number of subsidies, improves social workers' treatment, and also strives to simplify the operating process, encourages the participation of the industry, and has also started to strictly screen the industry last year to improve quality management.
The beneficiary of the two years of participating in the event Lin Xingying (65 years old, senior media person) has a enthusiastic praise for Ding Zhongyi's manager Cai Yiting (35 years old).? "
She said that the activity base and content are very good. The key is to persuade more elderly people to come out. She praised Ding Zhongyi to take the initiative to communicate with Li Chang and find the elderly living alone in the community, but countless silent alone elderly people are still sleepyIn the old house without an elevator, you need to work harder to encourage the grassroots at the grassroots level.
Lin Xingying suffered from pediatric paralysis, a former reporter from the Central News Agency in Brazil, as well as the editor -in -chief of Latin America's largest overseas Chinese newspaper, Brazilian Paul American Newspaper.She returned to Taiwan to accompany the demented father and stroke mother nine years ago, and her parents died four years ago.She participated in two or three lanes and long -term photos, learning muscle training, often interviewed active elderly people, and wrote an article in the group. Each weekend also worked as an ancient site guide.Essence
