"Thank you, you make me feel at ease in the cold weather." Aunt Guo, who lives in Xietu Street, Xuhui District, said to the visiting staff. There are many such heart-warming moments in Xietu Street.
Affected by the cold wave, the temperature repeatedly fell below 0℃ last week. Xietu Street immediately launched care work for key groups such as the elderly living alone, made emergency preparations, and made every effort to protect the lives of elderly residents in the area.
Since December 15, various neighborhood committees within the jurisdiction of Xietu Street have started door-to-door care work. Neighborhood committee staff visit key groups every day to popularize cold-proof tips for elderly residents. At the same time, we unite the property management, building team leaders, young volunteers and party member volunteers to always pay attention to the dynamics of special groups such as the elderly living alone and the elderly in the building. For this group, more than 500 services such as accompanying doctors, buying groceries on behalf of others, and delivering meals to their doorsteps have been carried out.
In order to ensure the safety of elderly residents in using electricity and gas, on the basis of Xuhui District’s “four-piece package” prescribed actions, Xietu Street has equipped nearly 200 households over 90 years old living alone with power pulse monitors in advance, and they will come to their homes during the cold wave. Handled more than 100 alarms.
Public service places such as the living boxes, neighborhood committee activity rooms, and comprehensive service centers for the elderly in Xietu Street have also become temporary "warm stations". They turn on the heating and air conditioning and supply hot water for free, providing a warm and comfortable place for residents to rest. place. The community canteen in Xietu Street is also "new" in season, providing free hot water and brown sugar ginger tea, which warms the stomach and heart.
