This demonstration version of the nursing home has made its debut... Minhang is creating a "highland" for professional care services for elderly people with cognitive impairments
On September 18th, Pujiang Lukun Elderly Care Home in Minhang District announced the official opening of six intervention therapies for six types of cognitive impairment. In the future, it will serve as a demonstration community for exploring the "full chain service model for cognitive impairment" in Minhang, creating a science popularization and training base for cognitive impairment, and leading the further improvement of the professional care level for cognitive impairment in elderly care institutions throughout the district.
It is reported that this nursing home has a building area of approximately 10000 square meters and a designated number of 252 beds. It is a cognitive care institution that integrates community living scenes, professional care, and intervention functional spaces.
The project aims to create rich social activities for elderly residents with cognitive impairments by creating familiar community scenes such as memory cafes, art corners, ticket offices, memory trains, worry free grocery stores, active salons, handicraft workshops, and night reading clubs. By combining concepts, environments, and therapies, the project aims to maintain the original life skills of elderly residents with cognitive impairments while delaying their cognitive decline, achieving a joyful and continuous life for them in their later years.

An on-site promotion meeting was also held in Minhang District to enhance the professional care service level of elderly people with cognitive impairment, with the theme of "working together to help and protect memory". At the meeting, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Minhang District, the People's Government of Pujiang Town, and Lukun Elderly Care Home respectively signed contracts with the Shanghai Mental Health Center, the Minhang District Mental Health Center, and the Renji Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine for the integration of medical care and elderly care. The Municipal Elderly Care Service Industry Association has issued graduation certificates to the first batch of elderly care representatives who have passed the cognitive impairment professional care training assessment at two cognitive impairment professional care training schools in Minhang District.
It is reported that in recent years, Minhang District has accelerated the construction of an elderly care service system that coordinates home community institutions and combines medical care and health care, actively creating a "highland" for professional care services for elderly people with cognitive impairments. The district focuses on building a "1+3+N" cognitive impairment friendly support network through measures such as policy creation, facility increment, and care empowerment, that is, building a full chain closed-loop service system of "publicity and education - risk screening - early intervention - family support - resource linkage", professional service support at three levels of "home community institution", and N social support networks of "social alliance, nursing alliance, and medical alliance".
At the same time, Minhang actively promotes diversified and specialized care services. In terms of home-based care, the district provides professional care for elderly people with cognitive impairment at home through home-based elderly care services and long-term care insurance door-to-door services. At the same time, training and guidance are provided for families of elderly people with cognitive impairment. In terms of community care, Minhang guides traditional day care institutions to transform towards professional care and encourages the construction of professional day care centers. In terms of professional elderly care institutions, Minhang has built two leading professional cognitive impairment care institutions in the city, and set up cognitive impairment care zones in 12 elderly care institutions to meet the needs of elderly people with cognitive impairment to stay in nearby care institutions.

According to the plan, by 2025, Minhang will achieve "full coverage of streets and towns" in the construction of friendly communities for elderly cognitive impairment. 1600 elderly cognitive impairment care beds and 32 cognitive impairment professional care community day care centers will be built. The Minhang District Representative Office of the Municipal Elderly Foundation will arrange a special fund of 1 million yuan to provide cognitive impairment professional aging adaptation for 2000 households. At the same time, Minhang will also build a professional care team for cognitive impairment, establish a set of leading professional care service standards in the city, cultivate a group of standardized, branded, and chain based professional elderly care service institutions, and build a social support network to promote and support healthy elderly care.
