China News Service, Langfang, October 10th (Song Mintao and Wang Yangyang) "When I first arrived at the Yanda Nursing Center, the first phase of the project was about to be put into operation. At that time, there were no elderly people living in it. I didn't expect the third phase of the project to be completed now." On the 10th, At the construction site of the third phase of the Yanda Golden Age Health Care Center (hereinafter referred to as Yanda Care Center) located in Yanjiao Town, Sanhe City, Hebei Province, Li Donghui and his colleagues went deep into the construction site and determined each model one by one according to the actual needs of the elderly Room decoration points and functions.

  Li Donghui, a native of Chengde, Hebei Province, became a North drifter after graduating from university.

"I have been engaged in financial investment and human resources management." He thought he would take root in Beijing, but he married and settled in Yanjiao, Hebei. It has been nearly 20 years now.

  At the end of 2010, by chance, Li Donghui applied to join the Yanda Nursing Center.

"In Beijing, the issue of old-age care is particularly concerned. Yanjiao is close to Beijing, so there are development opportunities and space." Li Donghui took advantage of Beijing's huge old-age needs to extend the "new outlet", and devoted himself to the cause of old-age with enthusiasm.

  At the beginning of his entry, Li Donghui's work was not smooth.

Because Yanjiao belongs to Hebei, the medical insurance standards in Beijing and Hebei are not unified, and it is difficult for the elderly to get reimbursed for medical treatment across provinces.

"After the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has become a national strategy, Beijing and Hebei have continued to carry out cooperation in the field of elderly care, and the elderly care policies and guarantees have continued to 'extend' and 'customs clearance'. I see the future of Yanjiao's elderly care business." Li Donghui said firmly, Beijing and Hebei will definitely be able to get through the bottlenecks encountered in remote care, which strengthens his determination to stay in the Yanda Nursing Center.

  With social progress and economic development, more and more elderly people in Beijing have changed the traditional concept of old-age care, began to accept the way of life in institutional old-age care, and pursued a high-quality old-age life.

With the continuous improvement of remote elderly care services, through inspections of elderly care institutions in Beijing and surrounding areas, since 2014, many elderly people from Beijing have chosen to live in elderly care institutions in Yanjiao, Hebei.

  Li Donghui said that Yanda Nursing Center and Yanda Hospital are the two core sectors of Yanda International Health City. The development strategy of the integration of medical and nursing care in the Health City allows the elderly who live in the hospital in the Health City to see the outpatient services of experts in Beijing. Just swipe your own medical insurance card to pay for medical insurance directly.

The most important thing is that the nursing center and Yanda Hospital are in the same hospital. When the elderly suffer from serious or acute illness, they can be sent to Yanda Hospital for timely treatment to ensure the health and safety of the elderly.

  "Going to see a doctor does not need to travel back and forth between two places, which is very convenient." Song Deming, an elderly man in Beijing, said that in 2018, after some inspections, Yanda Nursing Center has a warm and comfortable living environment, superior location and transportation advantages and a series of interconnections with Beijing. The medical service guarantee policy finally made him decide to "settle down" here.

  Walking in the Yanda Nursing Center, Li Donghui gained a lot of pride. "We have participated in the expansion of the Beijing-Hebei Collaborative Elderly Care Center, and now it has attracted more than 5,000 elderly people, of which more than 90% are from Beijing."

  Li Donghui, who has remained unchanged since the beginning of 13 years in the nursing center, witnessed the "change" of the coordinated development of elderly care services in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

He recalled that when he first went to the nursing center, the old man had to take a bus for more than an hour to buy medicines in Beijing.

Today, policies on the introduction of medical talents and the medical system between Beijing and Hebei are effectively connected, and Beijing and Hebei have achieved direct settlement for medical treatment in different places.

"It used to be that the Beijing old-age and disabled card could not be used outside of Beijing, but now it is used in Yanjiao, Hebei, just like in Beijing." Li Donghui said that with the gradual deepening of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, it is becoming more and more convenient for the elderly from Beijing to go to Hebei for the elderly.

  "The more you integrate into the pension business, the more you love it, and because of love, you are more willing to stick to it." When it comes to future plans, Li Donghui, who is already the deputy general manager of Yanda Golden Age Health Care Center, said that he is willing to continue to take root in the pension business and seize the times. Opportunity, chasing dreams in the second hometown, "the story of me and the old man will be told for another ten years".
