Care center cuts time taken for traveling
Print Edition
A newly opened center for seniors in the Jiading Industrial Zone provides services that include medical care and physical activities, creating a care circle within 15 minutes of traveling time.
There are more than 22,000 citizens above 60 years old in Jiading, especially in the northern rural area.
Huang Meijuan, of the Hailun Community, said the center has provided many activities to enrich people’s lives, such as a movie salon, flower arrangement classes, handicraft workshops and Internet cafes.
The center has multiple functional areas, including a reception area, electronic reading room, art creation room, calligraphy and Chinese painting room and health preservation area.
On the second floor of the center, there is a cafeteria which provides nutritious meals for just 11 yuan (US$1.6).
People used have to walk 20 minutes to the community committee and 40 minutes to the cultural sports center, but now they only need to walk a few minutes to the service center, Huang added.
Questionnaires showed that seniors are mostly concerned with spiritual enrichment, food and health preservation, so the center tailor-made different services according to physical condition and age.
The center also launched Taoxiyuan Senior Arts Center, folk music training program, caregiver for senior training program, handicraft workshop, health preservation program, traditional opera salon, calligraphy and Chinese painting exchange and seminars.
Cooperation mechanisms among the communities’ health service, elderly homes and day care facilities will be created.
The center will also import district-level intelligent elderly care platforms and create terminals to provide quality elderly care services a hotline away.
