China has also entered an aging society since 2000, so it will be an important task for an aging society to solve the problem of providing for the aged. How to make the elderly who have worked hard all their lives live safer, more convenient, healthier and more comfortable?

Japan was once selected by Newsweek as the most suitable country for providing for the aged in the world, and it is called "paradise for the aged", where the elderly can really enjoy providing for the aged.

Three details, a closer look at the secret of Japan becoming a "paradise for the elderly"

1. Exquisite furniture

Every facility, every detail and every centimeter in the old-age care institution have been carefully designed, which reflects the gentleness and respect of the designers for the elderly.

Ubiquitous handrail

When the elderly are inconvenient to move and need activities, the ubiquitous handrails provide great convenience for the elderly to travel.

A washstand accurate to the centimeter.

When the elderly stand, 80cm is the comfortable height of the washstand, which can reduce the burden on the waist, and the water is not easy to flow to the elbow and drip, and the depth space needs to reach 60cm, which is just right for standing or sitting.

In order to facilitate the elderly in wheelchairs, the wash tables in the old-age care institutions are designed to be not easy to hit their legs, so as to prevent the elderly from hitting themselves because of mobility difficulties.

2. Automated home

Smart toilet

Middle-aged and elderly people (40-49 years old) with smart toilet covers account for 20% of consumers. Now, the intelligent toilet includes washing, automatic drying, gasket heating, antibacterial and deodorizing functions, and is suitable for patients with gastrointestinal and constipation problems. It can not only be heated by the toilet seat, but also eliminate the cold feeling of going to the toilet in winter; But also clean and sanitary, which is more beneficial to health.

Fully automatic bathtub

Bathing is one of the most important traditional habits in Japan, which can not only help the blood circulation of the human body, but also help the elderly to accelerate the metabolic process. The old-age care institution has carried out anti-skid treatment on the bathroom facilities, and added handrails in the bath to prevent the elderly from falling down due to the unstable center of gravity of water buoyancy. For the elderly with mobility difficulties, the automatic bathtub can smoothly put the elderly into the bathtub through the electronic chair to complete the bath. These subtle ideas are aimed at enabling the elderly to continue their living habits outside the family, which is the best comfort for them besides material things.

Automatic nursing bed

For some elderly people who can't take care of themselves, the automatic nursing bed can not only help them live more comfortably, but also ensure their privacy and self-esteem, which embodies the humanized service for the aged.

3. Personalized escort

Different nursing services

Japan has established a "nursing insurance" system. According to the physical health status of the elderly, it has set seven levels, from the lowest "need support 1" to the highest "need care 5". Old-age care institutions can accept the elderly with different nursing levels and provide personalized nursing services and catering services for residents.

Different life plans

As you get older, your quality of life will improve. The staff of the old-age care institution will patiently and meticulously meet the requirements of different users, from entertainment interaction to hobbies, and then to daily chat, making the old-age life a pleasure.
