When it comes to caring for the elderly, Liu Ailing opened his mouth. "The original care for the elderly was to solve difficulties for the village." 1980, 33-year-old Liu Ailing was the director of women and the director of family planning in Duan Yi Village, Duanbolan Town, jimo city. At that time, there were six lonely old people in Duan Yi village, and the village paid people to take care of their daily lives. Because I feel that I have earned less money and I am tired, the invited people will soon stop shouldering the burden. Seeing that the old people were left unattended, Liu Ailing took the initiative to find the secretary of the village party branch and said that he would take good care of six old people. At that time, the village secretary told Liu Ailing that you take care of the old people and the village will give you money. Liu Ailing said to the village secretary, "If you want to give me money, I will quit. I'm not here for money. " In this way, Liu Ailing accepted the obligation to take care of six lonely old people.
At that time, the village collective gave the elderly 6 yuan a month for living expenses and some firewood, and Liu Ailing did the rest himself. Picking water and pulling weeds, making a fire and cooking, washing clothes and giving medicine to the sick old people, doing well in the village and taking care of their families can be described as "wearing several hats." At that time, there was no running water in the village, so Liu Ailing used a car to push the water to every old man's home. Every morning, the creaking of wheels, the figure of devoting to the cart and the water drops falling all the way have become a fixed landscape in the village.
1983, Liu Ailing was hospitalized for surgery due to illness. Liu Ailing in the hospital bed is still worried about six lonely old people in the village. Seven days after the operation, Liu Ailing hurried out of the hospital. The next day, her body was still not found. When she was pushing water for the old man, the knife edge broke and Liu Ailing fainted in front of the car. Someone sent her home, and the younger son cried and said that he wouldn't let Liu Ailing do anything. Even her husband said she was so stupid. Liu Ailing just smiled, waited a little better, and began to take care of the elderly again. 199 1 The day before the Spring Festival in, 87-year-old Li Xushi was critically ill in hospital. Liu Ailing stayed in the hospital for five days and five nights until the old man died in the twelfth lunar month. The next day, she contacted vehicles and people from all over the country to deal with the aftermath for the elderly. At night, she dragged her tired body home. The husband and children have wrapped jiaozi up and hung firecrackers waiting for her, while Liu Ailing was so tired that he didn't even eat jiaozi and fell asleep in bed.
Just as her husband silently supported her to take care of the elderly, 199 1 established Duanbolan Town Nursing Home. Liu Ailing resolutely challenged the town party committee: he volunteered to serve the elderly in nursing homes. With the consent of the town, she became the dean of Duanbolan Town Nursing Home, with a heavy workload, but her monthly salary dropped from 400 yuan in the original village to 150 yuan. The villagers said she was stupid: why not take more money and less? Liu Ailing's husband worked in an enterprise for one month 180 yuan. They didn't earn as much as Liu Ailing did working in the village. Children go to college, the elderly have to support them, and the life of the Liu Ailing family suddenly becomes poor. Her husband, who had always supported her, quit: "You are willing to take care of the elderly. I have nothing against you. Why do you want to do this kind of work with less money and fatigue? " How will you live when you are old and young? "Liu Ailing said," If you can't live, you have to live. These old people always need to be looked after. "Finally, Liu Ailing persuaded her husband to take six lonely old people in the village to work in nursing homes.
It's the dean and the waiter
On the afternoon of April 25th, 2007, the nursing home in the center of jimo city Duanbolan Town was very quiet. Several old people sat peacefully in the courtyard of the nursing home, enjoying the beautiful spring. Unlike the quietness of the old people, Liu Ailing, the director of the nursing home, is as busy as a bee. He had just finished cleaning the old people, brought pots of warm water and washed their faces and backs one by one.
There are 26 elderly people in the newly-built nursing home, with an average age of 80 and the highest age of 92. Because of their different tempers, personalities and living habits, it is really difficult to be kind to them. Liu Ailing is both a dean and a waiter, a nurse and a mediator. Because she is very busy, she hardly ever takes a full Sunday and holiday.
In order to improve the living conditions of the elderly, Liu Ailing led the hospital staff to open up vegetable gardens and build mushroom greenhouses in their spare time, earning more than 7,000 yuan a year. She won the support of many parties, and started a working glove processing factory and a welfare color printing factory, with an annual income of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. With abundant money, the living standards of the elderly should be continuously improved. Liu Ailing has invested more than 65,438+yuan to build 23 new houses, lay tile floors, install central heating, solar water heaters and electric fans, and set up activity rooms and meeting rooms in nursing homes. Increase nutrition for the elderly, from the original meal 1 dish to four dishes and one soup, one egg a day, and jiaozi twice a week. Whenever there is fresh food in the market all year round, I always buy it for the elderly to taste first. Whenever the old man has a birthday, Liu Ailing will buy him a cake for his birthday. In order to make the environment of the nursing home more beautiful, Liu Ailing and the elderly planted more than 40 kinds of flowers and trees in the hospital, making the nursing home have flowers in three seasons and evergreen all the year round. Liu Ailing attaches great importance to enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the elderly. She built a recreation room in the nursing home, set up a yangko team, often wrote and performed literary performances, and organized the elderly to go to the streets for holidays. Every spring, organize the elderly to visit places of interest such as Qingdao and Laoshan. Old people in nursing homes feel that they are the happiest people!
Most of the "five guarantees" old people are used to being removed, and it is inevitable to get along. At this time, Liu Ailing became their mediator. Once, Pan Jiang, a 74-year-old man, quarreled with his roommate Liu. He threw chopsticks on the ground while eating. Liu Ailing hurried forward to ask, and the old man said that his chopsticks were older than those of the old man surnamed Liu. Liu Ailing immediately gave her a new pair and apologized to her. Afterwards, Liu Ailing learned what had happened and made many adjustments between them, eventually making them reconciled. Liu Ailing said, "The old man's temper is like a child. Obviously, this mediator is still very easy to do. As long as the old man is happy, it is nothing for us to be wronged. "
"Everyone has come to this day."
Liu Ailing has a notebook in his pocket, which clearly records the birthday, personality, temper, hobbies, living habits and health status of every old man. Whenever the old man is ill and hospitalized, she always sends water, meals, excrement and urine to the old man until he recovers. Li Shilin, a 95-year-old man, was paralyzed for three times. Under the careful care of Liu Ailing, he has recovered. 72-year-old Luo Xingguang has lung and heart necrosis. After the operation, Liu Ailing took care of him with a spoonful of rice and a mouthful of water, and he has lived to this day. The 78-year-old Hu is paralyzed in bed all the year round and can't take care of himself. For more than four years, Liu Ailing took the initiative to feed him, take medicine and scrub his body. Sometimes when I just come back from the outside, I see Hu's hair growing, so I pick up a haircut tool to cut his hair, wipe his face and cut his nails. In summer, the old man lay in bed and soon sweated. Liu Ailing was afraid that he would get prickly heat, so he pressed the electric fan on him. I don't know how many times to help him turn over a day. Liu Ailing was so tired that his back ached. Sui had intermittent mental illness before he entered the nursing home. In order to take care of him, Liu Ailing made a special trip to Laiyang Rehabilitation Hospital to consult experts and consult books. Under her care, the old man's illness is getting less and less.
Serving the elderly is a patient job. In order to let the nurses in nursing homes overcome their fear of being dirty and tired, Liu Ailing did everything himself. Constipation is inevitable when the elderly are old and have less activities. Once, Liu Ailing stuffed a drop of dew into an old man who was constipated. Just go in, the old man's shit came out of it, and Liu Ailing had nowhere to hide, so he was covered in it. The old man was embarrassed, but Liu Ailing was cheerful. Before washing his face and changing clothes, he helped the old man clean up. Liu Ailing often tells waiters that we should not feel dirty and tired when doing this job. Who won't get old? In nursing homes, many relatives of elderly people who are hospitalized are looking for various reasons not to accompany their beds in the hospital. Liu Ailing stayed with the hospital staff. Most of the staff are young girls. When they saw the dying old man, they were very scared. Liu Ailing said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone has come to this day, who told me that this is work? "
To make the elderly live longer, in addition to supplementing nutrition and making them feel better, the medical conditions in nursing homes should also keep up. Liu Ailing organized the establishment of nursing home clinics, established health records for the elderly, and conducted regular physical examinations for the elderly. With his own clinic, Liu Ailing can know the physical condition of the elderly for the first time and treat them. After a long time, Liu Ailing became half a doctor. Which old man is sick, Liu Ailing just needs to know what disease he has and what medicine to take according to his illness. In the summer of 2006, an 86-year-old man was taken to the hospital for urinating blood. The doctor said that the operation needs more than 1 10,000, and it is not easy for the elderly to have an operation when they are old. Let Liu Ailing decide for himself. There is no way, Liu Ailing took the old man back to the nursing home, seeking remedies for the old man everywhere. Later, I heard that there was a wild vegetable that could cure this disease, so I dug wild vegetables every day to boil water for the elderly. I was afraid that the wild vegetable water was not good to drink, so I added brown sugar to the old man. In this way, under the careful care of Liu Ailing, the old man's illness gradually improved, and now he has recovered. Sui Anxiang came to the nursing home after the Spring Festival in 2006. At that time, for various reasons, the old man was paralyzed and it was very difficult to walk with crutches. After living in a nursing home, Liu Ailing immediately asked the clinic doctor to treat him and asked the kitchen waiter to cook him nutritious and delicious meals. Now the old man can throw away his crutches and walk by himself.
"Everyone has to have a small family."
Because she spends most of her energy in nursing homes, there is inevitably a contradiction between work and family. My wife often jokes that she is a "bachelor with a wife". To tell the truth, Liu Ailing also knows that he owes too much to his family and wants to have a good rest and enjoy it. But thinking about her job and the elderly who need her, she always feels that she can't abandon the welfare home for the benefit of her small family. Fortunately, his wife and children were moved by Liu Ailing and supported her more and more. She is also relaxed and energetic at work. On September, 2003, his wife passed away. Liu Ailing seems to have aged a lot at once. Her two sons who work in the city have advised her many times that she should stop being busy when she is so old, and besides, she can't earn much money. Liu Ailing said: "I always feel that the Party and the government have given me such a high honor, so I can't fall behind when I win the honor! Moreover, after so many years, I feel that I can't live without these old people and I can't live without nursing homes. " The next day, she dried her tears and went to work happily. Liu Ailing is 60 years old this year, and her son and daughter-in-law began to persuade her to go to the city for retirement. Liu Ailing said, "Stop it. I will do it when I can. Not in the future. "
Speaking of the present nursing home, Liu Ailing is full of energy. "When the nursing home was first built, many old people didn't understand what the nursing home was for. All the old people sent from the village are old and seriously ill. Even if he is 85 years old, he is unwilling to come as long as he is still healthy, for fear of being wronged in a nursing home. But now, all the old people in the village are vying to come. This year, several elderly people, all over 60 years old, really, it was Liu Ailing's hard work that made the elderly in Duanbolan Town Center a happy life. 17 During her working days in a nursing home, Liu Ailing put all her thoughts into the nursing home. She has her own dean's office, but she seldom sits in it. What people saw was that she came out of this old man and went to another old man for help. ...
Over the past 27 years, Liu Ailing has taken care of more than 70 elderly people and sent away 23 elderly people. In Liu Ailing's words, "I feel very happy to see old people spend their old age happily in nursing homes. I felt uncomfortable as soon as they left. No matter how long I live, I am willing to let him live. This is all I have. "
It is Liu Ailing's wish to make the elderly live a long and happy life, and Liu Ailing has been working hard for this wish.
At the end of the interview, the reporter got news from the relevant leaders of the town that the address of the new nursing home in Duanbolan Town has been selected and construction will start in May 2007. Next year, the elderly in Liu Ailing and Duanbolan Town Center will be able to move into the new nursing home, and the name of the new nursing home will be "Ailing Nursing Home".
