Multiple Subjects Participate Together
Meet the different needs of the elderly
In the early morning of winter, Jing Juanli, a volunteer from Chaoyang Community, Nanzhai Street, Jiancaoping District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, came to the pharmacy and skillfully reported the name of the medicine she wanted to buy to the staff.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she dialed the phone: "Aunt Gao, I'll be there soon, what else do you need? Do you want stewed vegetables at noon? Okay!" Go to the vegetable market.
"Aunt Gao, here is your medicine, and I have some old tofu for you to cook!" After ten minutes, Jing Juanli walked into Gao Gailan's house.
Gao Gailan is over 80 years old, and because her children are not around, her home is often deserted.
Recently, Xiao Jing often came to take care of her and her wife.
Recently, her wife Yuan Dengshan was ill in bed due to a cerebral infarction. Jing Juanli picked up a broom to clean the house as soon as she entered the house, and helped her do some work within her capacity.
After a while, Jing Juanli finished her work and knew that Gao Gailan was missing her grandson again, so she sat down with the old man and made a video call with her mobile phone.
"Each of our volunteers has the contact information of the elderly and their children on their mobile phones. In addition to introducing the current situation of the elderly, we will also urge them to go home often. After all, for the elderly, no one can replace the care of their children." Jing Juanli said.
In Chaoyang Community, there are more than 2,000 elderly people over the age of 60, accounting for 1/3 of the community's population. Among them, empty nesters account for the vast majority.
How to take care of the basic life of these elderly people has always been a question that Hao Guoying, secretary of the community party branch, has been thinking about.
"Our community leaders will come to the door 3 to 5 times a week to understand the needs of the elderly." Hao Guoying said that every elderly person has a "Heart Card" at home, which has the contact information of the community and volunteers, and can ask for help at any time.
In Chaoyang Community, many employees actively applied to the community to participate in voluntary services, and the community also launched the voluntary project "Sharing Children".
"Sharing children" is to unite grid members, party members and volunteers who are willing to serve, like the children of the elderly, often visit the elderly's house.
"Volunteers give full play to their strengths and come to the elderly to help with haircuts, deliver food, clean up, and even chat with the elderly." Hao Guoying said that now, the project has 108 volunteers.
Recently, Chaoyang Community made a "Love Passbook" for each volunteer, recording the content and points of each voluntary assistance certified by the community.
"In order to encourage and promote voluntary services, Taiyuan is exploring systems such as voluntary service points and time banks. At present, each street in Taiyuan City has a professional service volunteer team for the elderly, which has covered more than 50% of the community." Taiyuan Civil Affairs Xia Tongjie, a member of the party group of the bureau and director of the community work center, introduced.
In 2022, Taiyuan issued the "Implementation Opinions on Supporting the Development of Community and Home-Based Elderly Care Services in the City" and proposed to guide social forces to participate in community and home-based elderly care services to form a good situation where multiple subjects participate together and the needs of various elderly people are met.
"At present, service facilities such as community canteens in Taiyuan City have been promoted and covered, so that the elderly can eat enough for 8 yuan and eat well for 15 yuan. In the next step, more measures will be introduced to further meet other diverse needs of the elderly." Xia Tongjie said .

"Yonghui, your industrial bonus for the fourth quarter has arrived, and it's 3,987 yuan!" Xiao Yonghui, who lives in Shuikou Village, Lintang Township, Longnan City, Jiangxi Province, was busy in his mushroom growing greenhouse, and the village officials came to deliver it to him. spree.
Xiao Yonghui is 44 years old this year. In his early years, he guarded a few acres of land and depended on the sky for his food.
After successfully getting rid of poverty in 2020, the life of a family of five has just started to improve. The eldest daughter and youngest son were found to have thalassemia one after another, and the huge medical expenses put the family in trouble again.
For Xiao Yonghui's situation, the village cadres tailor-made assistance policies for him: encouraging him to grow edible mushrooms and fungus, organizing technical staff to come to teach regularly, and applying for a 50,000 yuan micro-loan for him.
Xiao Yonghui also refused to admit defeat, getting up to work before 6 o'clock every day, full of energy.
"Now, my mushroom and fungus cultivation scale exceeds 300 square meters, and merchants come to buy directly, and the demand is very tight!"

The village also helped Xiao Yonghui's family apply for subsistence allowances and apply for medical assistance for their sick children. The two daughters enjoy a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per semester for boarding and non-boarding students.
"Basic life is guaranteed, serious illnesses are covered, and there are ways to get rich." Xiao Yonghui rekindled his hope for life.
Jiangxi Province has a large number of people who have been lifted out of poverty, and the task of consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation is heavy.

Helping the disabled with a long-term perspective
"There is a job opportunity in Yuxin Homeland, do you want to try it?" "Can I do it?" "Try it!" Not long ago, Hu Chaoxiu received a call from the Disabled Persons' Federation of Nan'an District, Chongqing.
Before that, Hu Chaoxiu had not been able to find a suitable job because of her physical disability.
Now, "Yuxin Homeland" in Nanping Town, where she works, is a service platform specially built for the disabled.
"Here, you can do hand-knitting, make buns for breakfast, earn living expenses, and feel that your life is much more fulfilling." There are three service platforms for the disabled in Nan'an District.

We have assisted the civil affairs department of Nan'an District to include 1,955 families with poor people with disabilities in the scope of the minimum living allowance in a timely manner, so as to guarantee as much as possible Save.
How to make the disabled have a barrier-free travel environment?
The answer given by Nan'an District is "thinking ahead".
"This curb is made too high from the ground, and it needs to be controlled within one centimeter, so that the wheelchair can slide smoothly from the sidewalk to the road." Recently, Peng Haiting, the supervisor of barrier-free environment facilities, often came to a place with a wheelchair Construction Site.
In order to prevent the travel of disabled people from being hindered, the Nan'an District Disabled Persons' Federation, the District Housing and Urban-rural Development Committee, and urban management departments jointly promoted the consultation and consultation with disabled people before municipal construction and renovation of old communities.
Establish a public interest litigation supervision mechanism for barrier-free facilities with the district procuratorate to ensure that barrier-free facilities can meet the travel needs of disabled people from the beginning of construction.
Focusing on "digital intelligence empowerment", Nan'an District also tries to provide digital services for disabled people to improve their quality of life.
Recently, Wang Zhiyong turned on the TV and "watched" a movie for the first time.
Wang Zhiyong is a visually disabled person. For so many years, he can only hear the sound on the TV, but he can't imagine the TV screen. "Now, on the service platform of the Wisdom Disabled Persons' Federation, there are commentators specially for the blind. I can also 'see 'It's TV!" Not only that, but Wang Zhiyong has first-hand information on the policies for the disabled that are regularly pushed on the information service platform.
Now, as a blind masseur, Wang Zhiyong's monthly income is enough to support his daily needs.
"There are more than 5,000 yuan of support funds for the blind every year, plus the regular massage training courses held by the Disabled Persons' Federation. If the skills are improved, the income will also increase a lot." Wang Zhiyong said.
"Next, we will guide social forces to participate in services for the disabled, increase support for social organizations for the disabled, and encourage and guide individuals and social organizations to contribute to the development of the welfare of the disabled," said Luo Jiayu.
