This is an important factor that children or the elderly will ignore. In addition to providing nursing care, the nursing home, because the service object is the elderly, health care is not to be ignored. How good the sanitary and medical conditions are will represent how high the quality of the nursing home is. Hygiene includes personal hygiene and public **** hygiene. For the elderly who cannot take care of themselves, personal hygiene requirements are particularly high, such as: flushing urine and feces, changing underwear, bathing and so on. Public **** hygiene refers to issues such as how often to clean the rooms and bathrooms, and the quality of hygiene in the cafeteria. As for the medical aspect, it includes how many doctors and nurses the nursing home has, whether the medical equipment is complete, which medical services are provided, whether it is close to hospitals, etc.
Two, food
If the elderly are from the provinces, they may not be accustomed to the local food, so this issue must be addressed as well. Then again, if the elderly person is suffering from a disease, such as diabetes, does that nursing home provide specialized diabetic meals.
Three, location
Elderly people want the nursing home to be as close to their homes as possible, so that it is easier for their children to pick them up and visit them. If the location is close to the city, there are more shopping places nearby, and it is also more convenient to take the bus and subway, so often near the city nursing home beds are tighter. Of course, the suburbs of the nursing home is a good choice, where the air is fresh, away from the city, is a good place for the elderly to spend time.
Fourth, price
In terms of price, you should calculate how much you need to pay in a month, not just consider the cost of a bed or other individual items. Some nursing homes claim that their bed fee is cheaper than others, but he fills it up by raising the cost of other programs, so children should not be misled. Basically, one month's fee = bed fee + nursing fee + food fee. Then see if the nursing home also charges other fees, such as: laundry fee, entertainment fee, diaper fee and so on. In some cities, such as Guangzhou, the nursing home will also charge a one-time purchase fee for the facilities in the room. As the amount is large, it is also an important factor for children to consider whether they can afford it.
Fifth, other factors
In addition to the above factors, children can also consider the environment of the nursing home, whether there are gardens, fish ponds and other recreational areas. Whether the nursing home has an elevator, whether the corridors have handrails, which facilities are provided, such as: sports venues, rehabilitation equipment. In addition to this, whether the nursing home holds activities inside and outside the home, and joint programs, so that the elderly can spend a pleasant life.
All in all, the most important thing is whether the elderly live comfortably and appropriately, so children must get the opinion of the elderly when considering a nursing home.
