Such a tragedy happened. First of all, their only son was so careless that he couldn't get through the phone for three weeks before going home. Secondly, there are loopholes in the relevant mechanism of community nursing. The old couple is not the focus of the community neighborhood Committee in policy, which leads to the blind spot of community care; Finally, the relatively closed home environment of "no contact between old people and dead people" blocked the old couple from contacting their neighbors and fell into the dilemma of fighting in their own way. Eventually led to the tragedy. In order to avoid the recurrence of similar tragedies, we should join hands in many ways to build a social support network for empty nesters and let them have a warm old age.
First, children should take the initiative to establish contact networks with their parents. In addition to single-line contact with parents, we should also establish telephone contact with neighbors and neighborhood committees so as to take care of and check on the elderly at any time.
Second, empty nest elderly families can also spontaneously form help groups to care for each other regularly under the matchmaking of neighborhood committees, or form one-on-one families to help each other.
Thirdly, take empty nesters as the center, form an informal nursing support network in the community, and fully mobilize the strength of their relatives, neighbors, volunteers and community workers. And pay full attention to and care for the elderly.
Fourth, in the community pension service, explore the establishment of a grid management system. For example, the community needs to know which old people live alone. After a thorough investigation, it knows which old couples live together and one of them is at risk of disability.
Fifth, improve the network service system and mechanism of community pension. The government should increase its investment in providing for the aged. On the one hand, it is necessary to improve hardware facilities, such as the dining table for the elderly and install an emergency call system for the elderly. On the other hand, we should improve the software services, that is, expand the community work service team and improve the service quality, such as professional emotional communication and medical care.
Every family has its own problems, and everyone is old. Paying attention to the elderly today means paying attention to our own tomorrow. I hope everyone can act immediately, start from the side, start from small things, really care for the elderly and pass on warmth.
