Zhengzhou Pension Bed Has A Half-Gap

A set of data can explain the problem: Zhengzhou has 1 million old people, but only 8000 beds

Compared with the requirements of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, there are still half gaps in the old-age bed in Zhengzhou.

Scholars said that if we do not begin to solve the old-age problem, it will be difficult to miss the opportunity to solve it again.

Five years ago, Zhengzhou's nursing homes moved around to find customers and were treated as neurotic.

Nowadays, anyone who wants to come in must pass a qualification examination and be selected by the nursing home.

What is the gap in nursing home beds in Zhengzhou? A set of data can explain the problem: There are 1 million old people in Zhengzhou City, but there are only 39 old-age care institutions and the beds are only 8,000.

Experts believe that family problems will rise to social problems if the contradiction between the supply and demand of pension institutions and beds is not resolved in time.

Variety

I used to ask people to sit and wait for people to come

Fourteen years ago, Lao Zhao opened his first nursing home in the compatriot community in Erqi District of Zhengzhou City, with only 60 beds. This is also often empty.

"In the past few years, in order to attract the elderly, it was also a broken leg, breaking his mouth." Lao Zhao used "worse" to describe the day.

He and his staff took gifts, went to households in nearby communities to mobilize, and had been driven out of the house by MLM. Another time, Lao Zhao said to the old man for ten minutes. The people answered the sentence: "You are not ill!"

Before 2006, almost all elderly people living in Lao Zhao's nursing home were unable to take care of their own chronic diseases. The hospital did not accept them and their families did not have time to wait.

After 2008, more and more elderly people took the initiative to move in. Lao Zhao's nursing home was expanded to 3 and increased to 1,000 beds. Since last year, there are almost no empty beds in nursing homes, and they can still receive phone calls every day.

“We also picked, even if there are empty beds occasionally, we also want to live in the elderly who can take care of themselves.” Zhao said frankly, if not “advanced admission,” the bed is certainly more nervous.

In Zhengzhou, another privately-run pension institution has put a bed in the living room. The person in charge Wang Fei wry smile: "No way, has long been full, and many people line up."

"Business" is so good, Wang Fei did not expect it.

When the nursing homes were just established in 2008, they also launched leaflets on the streets every day. They started business for three months before they waited for more than a dozen old people. However, since the second half of last year, the number of elderly people who came to nursing homes has increased significantly.

The Zhengzhou Senior Citizens Apartment is the only city-level public nursing home in Zhengzhou, and the bed tension is also from the second half of last year. The staff member Zhang Chenxi said: "An old person gets out of bed and another old man immediately checks in."

In order to meet the demand, the apartment had to move the gym to the balcony and put a bed in the meeting room and gym.

data

There are still half gaps in the old-age bed in Zhengzhou

According to the staff of the Zhengzhou Civil Affairs Bureau's Office of Aging, as early as 2010, the city’s population over 60 years old has exceeded 1 million, accounting for 13.6% of the total number of Zhengzhou City.

According to the statistical standards of the United Nations, if a population over the age of 60 reaches 10% of the total population, or if the population aged over 65 accounts for 7% of the total population, the area will enter an ageing population. According to this standard, Zhengzhou City is already an aging city.

In the face of the aging of the city that has arrived in a hurry, the elderly care institutions in Zhengzhou seem to be “unable to deal with it”.

Duan Yutian, director of the Zhengzhou Civil Affairs Bureau's senior citizenship division, stated that Zhengzhou's aged care service is still in its infancy. At present, there are 39 old-age care service organizations with nearly 8,000 beds. In addition to nursing homes and other welfare agencies, only 15,000 pension beds are available. In this way, every thousand old people over the age of 60 have 15 old-age beds, which is far below the level of 50 to 70 in developed countries, and is also lower than the level of 20 to 30 in developing countries.

According to the request, by the end of the twelfth five-year period (2015), the number of beds per 1,000 elderly people in Zhengzhou should reach 30. Duan Yutian frankly stated that there are still half of the old-age beds in Zhengzhou and the construction task is very arduous.

Wang Fei, who frequently exchanges views with counterparts from other provinces and cities, said that Zhengzhou nursing homes are not only small in number, but also in scale. Many of them are in urban villages. “To be honest, we ourselves feel too simple.”

the reason

Jogging into elderly society only family to aggravate pension crisis

"Now feel nervous, and later the pressure will increase." Wang Fei said that the first generation of the only child's parents are gradually entering the old age, the community's pension pressure is still only a preliminary manifestation.

Although Mr. Liu in Zhengzhou was just over 30 years old, he has obviously felt the pressure. Today, both husband and wife have to support four elderly people. Although the elderly can take care of themselves, they have obviously felt pressure from physical and economic aspects. The mantra of the old man is now, when we are old, we send it to the nursing home.

Wang Fei said that most elderly people in nursing homes are too busy or out of town to care for them.

This has also led to an increase in the number of elderly people living in nursing homes. For example, when their children are on business trips, they send the elderly for a few days. Especially during the Chinese New Year, young people travel and send the elderly to nursing homes.

He also believes that the transformation of urban villages has also aggravated the pressure on nursing homes. “A lot of private nursing homes are rooted in urban villages. Once the urban villages are transformed, these nursing homes will disappear.”

crisis

The tragedy of "death unknown" will repeat itself

One of the direct consequences of the tension in nursing home beds is that more elderly people living alone have to provide for the elderly at home.

In the summer of 2010, the piercing cries that came from the district became memories that Mrs. Hu could not erase.

Granny Hu told reporters that during those periods of time, people who listened to a unit said that there were stinking smells in the corridor. The people in the property cleared the corners of the unit and found no dead rats. Later they discovered that the smell was bad. Taste is transmitted from the fifth floor of Todo. Property staff knocked on the door but did not respond.

A few days later, a noon, piercing cry, let everyone understand where the odor came from.

The old lady who lived alone died at home and the old man’s body had decayed as the children came.

The old lady, who is also living alone, is beginning to worry about whether she will also end up with a neighbor.

Alert

It's harder to miss the opportunity to solve the old-age problem

Population scholar Yi Fuxian stated that when the one-child policy was implemented in 1980, it was generally believed that the phenomenon of aging was too soon to appear after 2020, and that it was possible to provide for old age. However, in fact, China entered an aging society in 1999.

Another set of data shows that in recent years, the elderly in China have continued to grow at an annual rate of 8.6 million and will reach about 460 million in 2051, which is twice the population of children.

“Today, Zhengzhou City has entered the aging society soon. At this time, it is still a good opportunity to tackle the old-age pension problem.” He Qing, a researcher on the elderly problem in China, said that now it is a good time whether planning layout or land allocation or mobilizing social capital participation. . If these years are missed, the difficulty in both land supply and planning will increase significantly, and the cost of building a hospital will increase substantially. At that time, it would be even harder to solve problems such as pension institutions and lack of beds.

In this regard, Duan Yutian said that Zhengzhou Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau is stepping up efforts to build homes, communities, and institutions for endowment. “The situation of the old-age care institutions in Zhengzhou is severe and the construction tasks are very heavy.”
