Wenzhou, May 5 (Zhang Yicong) On the 11th, the reporter learned from the Social Affairs Bureau of Longgang City, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, that as of April 11, the city has successfully built four "age-friendly" communities such as Sanyuan and Xiqiao, and the central China community and the corresponding community were rated as the "age-friendly" model communities in Wenzhou in 2023, of which the central China community was shortlisted for the preliminary list of Zhejiang Province to create a national exemplary age-friendly community.
In recent years, China's rapid urbanization has created a number of large towns. In order to help such towns break through the bottleneck of the system, the town was withdrawn and changed to a city, and Longgang became the first town to break through the "growing pains".
In 2019, Longgang completed the "town reform", followed by a basin of "cold water". The inspection feedback of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee pointed out that Longgang City has many shortcomings in people's livelihood issues such as "low and scattered" industries, as well as "one old and one small", and the lack of elderly care resources and facilities is also one of them.

As far as Longgang is concerned, based on the construction of an "age-friendly" society, how should the weaknesses be "supplemented"?
Since the "rebirth" of Longgang, the city has started from the smallest unit of the community and made every effort to build an age-friendly "elderly care city" by making up for shortcomings, improving services, shaping brands and other measures.
In terms of making up for shortcomings, Longgang has actively built a "community + private" social elderly care service system, and promoted 9 provincial citizens' livelihood practical projects such as the construction of health care complexes, smart nursing homes, and the renovation and upgrading of elderly canteens with high standards.
Up to now, Longgang has 15 elderly care service institutions and 74 community home-based elderly care service centers, comprehensively expanding the coverage of healthy elderly care resources.
At the same time, Longgang starts from both psychological and physical health, on the one hand, integrates "silver age" resources, and jointly builds a university for the elderly, a university for old cadres, and a demonstration belt of silver age education along the river; On the other hand, we should accelerate the construction of "high-end" health care centers, "medium and high-end" four major medical care centers, and social welfare centers, and actively promote the construction of medical institutions and facilities for the elderly.
Up to now, Longgang has developed high-quality cultural and sports undertakings for the elderly, with 16 gerontology schools actually opening and operating, with a total number of more than 2100,<> students.
In 2022, Longgang Medical and Health Care will start intensive cultivation, fully promote the relocation project of Yunyan and Lupu community health service centers, also plan to set up elderly care beds, and simultaneously explore the mechanism of coordinated use of personnel and the policy of taking drugs for two chronic diseases, further strengthen the responsibility of the general hospital, and improve the organizational service system. In addition, the construction of the geriatric department of Longgang People's Hospital successfully passed the Wenzhou municipal acceptance.

While deeply cultivating community services, Longgang is committed to implementing services to individuals, carrying out actions such as "distributing smart bracelets", and investing nearly 200 million yuan annually to provide free bathing, haircuts, psychological comfort and other services for the elderly living alone and centenarians with subsistence allowances, extreme poverty, living alone and centenarians.
At this point, the construction of Longgang's "age-friendly" community has begun to bear fruit, and the comprehensive upgrade of the "elderly city" has begun to "load".
Data show that in 2022, Longgang will organize 46 offline and online pension talent recruitment fairs, attract 5865,16298 college students, complete 15,573 vocational skills personnel training, train 100 elderly care directors, 30 nursing staff, and add <> certified elderly care workers... Intuitively speaking, the city can have <> licensed elderly care workers for every <>,<> elderly people.
After talents came first, Longgang focused on the new model of "home + community institutions + smart old age", and took the lead in the communities of Central China, Central Counterpart, Sanyuan and Xiqiao, mobilizing the strength of communities, social organizations, community volunteers and local villagers, and handing over four golden business cards of "warm food and worry-free", "neighborhood mutual assistance", "smart care" and "filial piety and comfort", and deeply promoted the brand building of "age-friendly" cities.
In the future, on the basis of ensuring the transformation of existing achievements, Longgang will jump out of the thinking of "relying on the old and selling the old", build an "age-friendly" society, comprehensively promote the integrated development of elderly education, actively explore new courses such as "silver age across the digital divide", and further integrate the concept of "age-friendly" into the construction of wide-area public services to form a deeper benefiting effect.
