To the cognitive elderly (dementia is discriminatory, the scientific name is cognitive disorders) to find a nursing home, you can first explain the specific performance of some of the what, because Beijing is a number of cognitively sensitive elderly nursing home, but if the cognitively sensitive elderly have a tendency to violence, then it may be difficult to be accepted. There is also the consideration of not considering the proximity, Beijing is such a big city, if the recommendation of a nursing home is far from the elderly or family members living in the place, is it willing to? As for "which one is good", you can make a comprehensive judgment from the following 4 aspects, after all, everyone's focus is different.
①. Professional service ability (medical care, rehabilitation services, life care, nutritional food, recreational activities, psychological care, whether the relevant service personnel graduated from professional colleges and universities);
②. Environment and facilities (age-adapted design of living rooms, facilities and equipment commonly used in daily life, the size of the activity space);
3. Medical and living resources in the vicinity of the nursing home, whether it is convenient to visit and whether there is a parking lot;
④. The application of technology (such as real-time monitoring of the elderly's physical condition of the electronic products, video monitoring equipment to allow children to keep abreast of the situation of the elderly in the hospital, etc.).
All in all, before you know more about the specific situation and needs of the elderly, it is recommended that you find a few nursing homes near your home and visit them on the spot, so that you can see with your own eyes how different nursing homes take care of cognitively impaired elderly people and whether they are able to eat well, live well, and be well-served in the nursing home. In general, well-known nursing homes are good, such as the following picture of the Beijing Daxing District Yue Nianhua Nursing Center, is also considered to be a representative of Beijing for the elderly services, because it is the central enterprise China Resources to do the public health care combination of pension institutions, positioning in the middle and high end, there are doctors, nurses, rehabilitators, dietitians, caregivers, social workers, cooks, cleaners, the more complete in the staffing of the service, is the It is a medical care and health care in one, with more comprehensive life care and rehabilitation services, with medical insurance, and 24-hour care services. Charges about 7K or so (monthly total ***), the charging mode is very simple, on the bed fee + meal fee + nursing fee, unlike the insurance pension as much as the set. I personally thought that the charges are already very reasonable, after all, the service package is very complete. It can accept self-care, semi-self-care, elderly weak self-care, completely disabled bedridden, cognitive disorders of the elderly. In addition to the activities of the elderly space is more adequate, there is a separate courtyard out of the park, the activities of the program, entertainment and learning programs can choose more.
Some people may say that the cost of such a nursing home is higher, but it depends on what perspective one takes. Personally, I think it's reasonable to say that you get what you pay for, and expensive things aren't always good, but cheap ones must have their own problems. As the elderly get older and older, to a certain extent, it is unlikely that the family will think of hiring a nanny to take care of them, plus the nanny's meals at home and daily living expenses, in fact, the calculation does not necessarily save money than living in an elderly care institution, but on the contrary, there will be more expenses. The advantage of living in a professional nursing home is that it is diversified (service segmentation) and specialized, that is to say, in terms of medical, recreational, food, nursing, housing, entertainment, etc., you will get a variety of different professionals, for example, there are health care workers, rehabilitators, dietitians and so on, as well as rehabilitation equipment. When taking care of the elderly, they also work in shifts. When this caregiver is off from work and resting in the day shift, another caregiver is energetic enough to come and take care of the elderly in the evening shift. The nanny is ultimately a person, will have to rest, can not always watch the elderly, and will not bring any facilities and equipment, in terms of professional ability and elderly care institutions "group care" model, compared to the lack of competitiveness. This is also the reason why more and more families and the elderly are choosing the elderly care institutions. To be realistic, there is a lot of negative information about nannies accompanying the elderly, and if anything bad happens, the nannies are only independent individuals, and it is hard to say whether they have the ability to compensate or not. Those who have a certain popularity and brand of senior living institutions, at least in this regard is also reliable point.
Summary: still emphasize to personally visit the understanding of their own, hearing is false, seeing is believing that this truth is understood by all, to many comparisons, careful treatment.
