山东青岛:点亮社区养老“夕阳红”

Qingdao, Shandong: Providing Community-based Elderly Care for Those in Their “Sunset Years”

2021年12月,山东省青岛市市北区水清沟街道办事处引入青岛市市北区汇众社会工作服务中心,正式开启了水清沟街道社会工作站的运营。在社工站建站前期,汇众社工通过入户走访等方式对辖区环境进行了调研,调研发现,水清沟街道老龄化严重,且空巢老人、独居老人、随迁老人的比例较大,居家养老服务需求旺盛,但受限于疫情防控、人员不足等因素的制约,大多数老年居民的需求得不到满足。为此,水清沟街道社会工作站开展了老年人支持小组项目,旨在通过社会工作协助老年居民强化社会支持,提高居家养老生活的质量和晚年生活的幸福感。

Huizhong social workers always took the initiative to comprehend the needs and feelings of the elderly people who moved with them during the service period and made appropriate modifications to the service plan.This provided quality services for the elderly people under their care and helped to narrow the psychological gap between them,created a positive environment of good neighborliness in the neighborhood,increased resident cohesion,and generated more familial community governance.
