Because young people in many families need to go out to work and can't stay with the elderly for a long time, it will lead some elderly people to live alone. Although the elderly living alone can take care of their daily lives, they are old and can't really handle many things well. In particular, it is prone to sudden diseases and there are great security risks. In this regard, if there are elderly people living alone at home, we must find ways to ensure the safety of the elderly.
The elderly living alone in Shandong suddenly fell into a coma.
This is a sad and touching news. Our bitterness is that in Jining, Shandong Province, there is an old man living alone in his 90s who suddenly fell ill and fainted in a closed area. There was no family at that time. What moved us was that community workers and law enforcement team members immediately sent the elderly to the hospital for treatment. After the full rescue of medical staff, the vital signs of the elderly were stable. Finally, the law enforcement officer also got in touch with his child, and the child rushed to the hospital.
How to ensure the safety of elderly people living alone?
Whatever the reason, we should pay attention to the situation that there are elderly people living alone in a family and do our best to ensure the safety of elderly people living alone. For some elderly people who live alone with very weak safety awareness, the community can find ways to go to their homes regularly to publicize safety knowledge, reduce risks and help them assess their health status. It is also necessary to mobilize family members to care for and take care of the elderly and go home to take care of the elderly from time to time. If conditions permit, it is best to stay at home with the elderly. If there is really no way, you should also install a camera in the room where the elderly live alone, so that you can know the movements of the elderly at any time, detect their physical condition and reduce the risk of emergencies.
