The cause of "disability" may be old age, illness or disability. On the issue of defining "disability", it is implemented in accordance with internationally accepted standards.
The defined indicators include eating, dressing, getting out of bed, going to the toilet, walking indoors and taking a bath. In these six basic activities of daily life, one or two can't be defined as "mild disability"; Three or four "impossible" are defined as "moderate disability"; Five or six "impossible" are defined as "severe disability".
With the progress of society, there is "disability insurance" for the "disabled". Disability insurance is a kind of health insurance, also known as income loss insurance and income protection insurance. Disability insurance is generally divided into two types, one is to compensate for the loss of income caused by injury and the other is to compensate for the loss of income caused by illness.

When taking care of the disabled elderly, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, preventing bedsores
Bedsore refers to the ulceration and necrosis of skin tissue caused by persistent ischemia and hypoxia due to long-term oppression of some skin or tissues.
When preventing bedsores, we should pay attention to helping disabled elderly people turn over and rub their hands and feet. We can also use a mobile handlebar to move the elderly to a wheelchair and push them out for more activities instead of lying in bed all the time.
2. Hygiene and cleanliness
According to the number of toilet shifts planned every day, the disabled elderly will be moved to the toilet on time by using the shifting machine. In addition, the clothes of the disabled elderly should be changed frequently, and the close-fitting clothes should be kept clean and tidy to avoid causing other infectious diseases.
3. Dietary problems
Because the physical function of the elderly is not as good as before, the diet of the elderly should be arranged according to their own specific conditions, and the required nutritional elements should also be supplemented according to the doctor's advice.
4. Rehabilitation training
Some elderly people are disabled, and some activities of daily life can be resumed through rehabilitation training. Therefore, in my spare time, I can do rehabilitation training for the disabled elderly by moving the machine, or use rehabilitation facilities to do corresponding rehabilitation training according to the doctor's advice.
5. Psychological problems
In addition to external hardware care, the disabled elderly should also be given adequate psychological care. Usually, we should help the paralyzed elderly to move around, go out in a wheelchair to see the scenery, visit the park, talk and laugh, and relieve their depressed mood.
