  In recent days, many residents of Beijing’s old communities will find that a lot of "good old" facilities have been added to the community: the corridors of the corridors are equipped with eye-catching yellow continuous handrails, sensor night lights, and even wait for the installation of elevators and homes. Good news, such as room aging and renovation.

Beijing is accelerating the implementation of the old community renovation work that the country vigorously promoted this year.

  On July 20 this year, the General Office of the State Council announced the "Guiding Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Reconstruction of Old Communities in Urban Areas", pointing out that by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, that is, before 2025, the State Council will strive to basically complete the required renovation before the end of 2000. Reconstruction of old communities in cities and towns.

  It is worth noting that the renovation content of the old community proposed by the national level mainly includes hydropower lines and optical fiber supporting, conditional installation of elevators, and parking lots.

In Beijing’s old communities, resident elderly people account for a very high proportion. Therefore, in the process of reconstruction, facilities and services for the elderly have also become the "protagonists", allowing the elderly to enjoy and support the elderly in the community. A major direction for the transformation of old communities in Beijing.

  First of all, in terms of hardware, in addition to conventional renovation content such as seismic reinforcement, energy-saving renovation, building cleaning and painting, and cable regulation, the installation of elevators as an "optional project" has become a "recommendation" in the renovation of old communities in Beijing. project.

In August 2016, after the "Beijing 2016 Pilot Work Plan for Adding Elevators to Existing Multi-storey Residential Buildings in 2016" was released, the financial subsidy policy for the installation of elevators was clarified, and elevator installation began to accelerate in an all-round way.

Take Tongzhou District as an example. In recent years, the comprehensive renovation of old communities has launched a "menu-based" service. The installation of elevators is a self-selected item. The owner can choose whether to implement it or not under the premise of agreeing to bear the corresponding responsibilities and expenses.

  "It's much easier to go out now, and I am very happy." Mr. Duan, who lives in Yiyuan District, Tongzhou District, is 88 years old this year. He and his wife rarely go out before because of inconvenient legs and feet.

After installing the elevator, I now go downstairs to the square to sit for a while at around 5 pm every day.

  Founded in the 1960s in the Yileyuan Community, the current property management unit is the first to open a real estate group. It is a typical old community in the state-owned system. The proportion of elderly residents is as high as 70%. Up and downstairs has become one of the keys to the quality of life. .

On the eve of the Spring Festival on January 19, 2020, 11 additional elevators in Yileyuan Community were put into use, becoming the first community in Tongzhou District to realize the installation of elevators on all unit doors of the entire building.

Currently, Tongzhou has approved the construction of 62 additional elevators, of which 17 additional elevators have been put into use, 10 are under construction, and another 35 are in the review stage of construction drawings.

  The hardware transformation also extends from "outdoor" to "indoor".

Shuangyushu Nanli Second Community, as Beijing’s first pilot project for aging-adaptive renovation of old communities, has carried out aging-adaptive renovation of family rooms for 99 families with elderly people over 80 and severely disabled elderly families.

The transformation includes anti-skid mats, sensor night lights, armrests, bath chairs and other intimate devices that facilitate the elderly to take care of themselves, as well as smart devices entering the home, so as to achieve real-time monitoring of data such as bedtime, habituation, toileting, and bathing.

If there is an abnormality, both medical staff and relatives can learn about it immediately.

In addition, a 24-hour monitoring and management center has been set up in the background, and the elderly can make a one-key call when an accident occurs at home, and the staff will rush to the scene to provide assistance as soon as possible.

  With hardware support, the transformation of old communities will focus more on the daily needs of the elderly.

"I will take my grandson to watch movies on weekends. It is very lively together." Mr. Zhang lives in Zaoyuan Community, Qingyuan Street, Daxing District. Every Saturday and Sunday at 6pm, the square in the middle of the community starts The open-air movies attracted many residents to watch.

The elderly are nostalgic together, the children find it fresh and interesting, and the "generations" can also find common fun and enjoy themselves.

  Zaoyuan Community is a large-scale community built in 1994 with 51 buildings. The project was launched in 2019.

The key content of the transformation is to create more types and more complete service formats and areas for residents based on the improvement of environmental facilities.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Zaoyuan Community Neighborhood Committee, the community has adopted the form of dividing age areas according to the needs of different age groups, and re-planning the open space where debris was originally piled into public service spaces with different functions. Among them, medical services are provided for the elderly. Hairdressing, medical treatment, staple food kitchen, vegetable station and other facilities and services.
