Study of adaptation services for newly admitted elderly in elderly care facilities

Abstract

In response to the deepening aging problem, China has adopted a series of laws and regulations to promote the aging industry. "Medium- and Long-term Plan for Actively Responding to Population Aging" and "Opinions on Strengthening the Work on Aging in the New Era" were successively issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. The report noted that a number of departments have improved the support system for old-age services and have continuously enhanced supply capacity. A growing number of elderly people are choosing institutional care over other forms of care, and it is the old-age service industry that is most favored by them. Moving to an unfamiliar environment such as a nursing home can cause the elderly to feel anxious, lonely, helpless, and afraid. Elderly people are often affected by this in terms of their physical and mental health. In order to improve the quality of life of newly-admitted elderly, it is crucial to shorten their adaptation process.
