"At present, in some cities, the proportion of the elderly living in old residential areas exceeds that in ordinary commercial housing communities." During this year's two sessions, Li Yan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Revolutionary Movement, proposed to improve the overall level of elderly care service facilities in the transformation of old residential areas.
"Our country's community aging renovation mainly includes curb ramps, wheelchair ramps, pedestrian passageways in residential areas, and facilities and parts such as public entrances and exits, public walkways, floors, stairs, elevator waiting halls, etc. In addition to public areas, some areas have also added indoor aging and elderly care service facilities," Li Yan told reporters, Adding elevators to existing multi-storey residential buildings is an important aspect of aging transformation. According to statistics, the proportion of elevator installed in the buildings where the urban elderly live is about 6.0%, which is far from the demand.
In the process of aging modification, the cost is also one of the factors restricting the promotion. At present, the source of funds for the renovation of old residential areas is mainly "financial investment+self raised funds". Under the influence of the economic cycle, the limited financial funds can only cover part of the costs required for basic reconstruction projects.
"We should explore a multi-party linkage model, adopt multiple financing methods, and promote the aging transformation of old residential areas as soon as possible." Li Yan suggested that the aging transformation of old residential areas and the construction of barrier free environment should be included in the important proceedings of the municipal joint conference on the comprehensive renovation of old residential areas, and actively create "district level overall planning, street leadership, community coordination, residents' discussion, and social participation" Five party linkage mechanism.
In his opinion, the aging renovation and barrier free environment construction of the public areas of old residential areas should be implemented by category, especially the renovation of adding elevators or installing building walkers should be subsidized. The reconstruction of fitness equipment in public areas can be fully supported by sports lottery public welfare fund.
"In the early stage, we will focus on the construction of barrier free environment in public places. In the process of reconstruction, we will pay attention to the skid resistance of flooring materials and the clarity of signs. Later, we can gradually improve the supporting facilities and complement the shortcomings of public services." Li Yan proposed that we can use the existing resources in the community, such as public houses and facilities shared by the owners, which will be jointly decided by the owners, It is handed over to property service enterprises for unified transformation for home-based elderly care services. Idle houses and facilities owned by the government can be entrusted to elderly care service institutions for home-based elderly care services.
In addition, Li Yan suggested that social capital should be encouraged to participate in the transformation and operation, and the use of idle land and the adjustment of the use of stock houses should be clarified.
In the aspect of home adaptation and aging transformation, he suggested that the elderly and disabled elderly families with special poverty support, low security and low income should be subsidized step by step.
"The activities of the elderly can not be separated from the place and environment of their daily life. The purpose of the home aging transformation is to solve the problems of the elderly in their daily life, realize the convenience of life, and at the same time avoid all kinds of dangerous factors in the home elderly care environment, so that the elderly can enjoy a more comfortable and safe living environment." Li Yan said, Adaptation to aging is not "simple decoration", but to really understand the specific needs of the elderly, customize the scheme according to their physical characteristics, lifestyle, etc., and make it from "usable" and "usable" to "easy to use" and "loving to use".
