First, self-assessment and reasonable choice
1. state of matter
Family members should reasonably evaluate the physical condition of the elderly and choose a suitable nursing home. Many nursing homes have clear requirements and regulations for recipients, and the corresponding fees are different. Therefore, it is necessary to be clear in advance, such as whether the communication is smooth, whether it is disability dementia, and how much nursing care, and then choose a matching nursing home according to the state of the elderly. Generally, before moving in, the nursing home will also conduct a health assessment for the elderly.
2. Economic situation
Need to refer to the level of occupation and education before retirement, and economic conditions are the foundation. On the premise of affordability, choose a nursing home with facilities and services that can meet psychological expectations. Bian Xiao personally suggested that high-end quality nursing homes should be chosen if the economic conditions are ok, because on the whole, the elderly living in these institutions have relatively high requirements for the quality of life and spirit.
Second, comprehensively consider various factors.
1. Charge price
Different nursing homes charge different fees. Nursing home expenses generally include bed fees, nursing fees, meals and so on. Different rooms, orientations and nursing levels charge different fees. Children or other family members should clearly understand the charging mode and make a comprehensive comparison.
2. Geographical location
Most people who choose nursing homes are still willing to give priority to areas with good geographical location, convenient transportation and complete surrounding facilities. Being far away from home is also a consideration, which is convenient for children and relatives to visit at any time to meet the emotional needs of the elderly. There are also some elderly people who consider staying away from the city, with fresh air and quiet and pleasant.
3. Medical conditions
People will inevitably have some diseases or face the risk of sudden diseases in their later years, and medical care conditions must be an important factor in choosing nursing homes. At present, the relatively high-end nursing homes generally include nursing homes. When looking at medical conditions, we can look at the medical equipment in the hospital, whether there are full-time doctors, rehabilitation treatment and so on. Secondly, the surrounding hospitals are also part of medical conditions, and nursing homes in China are basically based on nursing. If there is an emergency, they can be sent to the hospital in time.
4. Hardware facilities
The living environment can be measured from many aspects, such as the size of the bed can directly reflect the number of elderly people and the corresponding services, whether the living room is bright and comfortable, whether the catering takes into account the eating habits of different elderly people, and whether the nutrition is balanced. Other aspects include toilets, rehabilitation equipment, public spaces, aging equipment, leisure and entertainment facilities, etc.
5. Soft services
Soft service is comprehensive, and medical service, catering service, nursing service, daily service and first aid service should be considered. Whether there are clear standards and norms for the corresponding services, whether the hospital has rich recreational activities at ordinary times, and whether it provides spiritual comfort to satisfy the psychology, communication and emotion of the elderly. Now some old-age care institutions also provide regular study courses for the elderly to further enrich their lives.
6. Company background
Choosing a reliable nursing home, corporate background is very important. In recent years, all kinds of nursing homes have mushroomed and blossomed, becoming more and more attractive. However, Bian Xiao still prefers big companies with stronger strength, more stable operation, more mature system and more guaranteed service quality. The enterprise background often determines whether it can provide high-quality and sustainable services.
Third, the field trip was finalized.
Finally, when the elderly and their families are interested, they should make a field trip. Note that some nursing homes need to make an appointment in advance to avoid a trip in vain.
At first glance, it will be more intuitive to look at the situation of the elderly, pay attention to their mental outlook, try to communicate and interact with them, and find out whether they are suitable for living in the process of chatting;
Second, smell, smell whether there is any peculiar smell, such as whether there is urine smell, whether the air is fresh;
Third, listen to the communication between the staff and the elderly, whether the language is gentle, enthusiastic, cordial and natural, and whether the hospital service is meticulous and thoughtful.
