A 10-minute walk eastward from Shangfang Garden Community, there is a white house on Changle Road not far from Huaihai Middle Road. There is a community canteen on the first floor here, and many residents come to eat every meal time. And once the meal time is over, the door will be closed. It turns out that a group of special old people are guarded here.
This white house is the comprehensive service center for the elderly in Nanjing West Road Street. The second and third floors provide day care and short-term care services for the elderly. Last year, a cognitive impairment care unit was built here, and most of the elderly people cared for suffer from varying degrees of cognitive impairment.
When entering the comprehensive service center for the elderly, time seems to slow down. In order to help elderly people with cognitive impairment perceive the surrounding space, the public areas here are very spacious. The decoration is based on the layout of old Shanghai bungalows. There are also many old photos of Shanghai landmarks hanging on the walls. There is a fruit at the door of each room. Marking to facilitate identification and memory for the elderly. Electric nursing beds, pagers and other facilities are all available. The smart mattress in the room also has physical sign monitoring and bed exit alarm functions.
The reporter saw in the activity area on the second floor that a group of old people were gathered around a large table, concentrating on making handmade flower baskets using colorful felt boards. Some old people will occasionally stop during the production process, with a trace of confusion in their eyes. At this time, the attentive social worker can always detect it in time, gently step forward, and patiently remind the other party of the next production steps.

Social worker Liu Hong is a college student who graduated in 2020 and has been working here for 4 years. She told reporters that today's handmade production mainly helps elderly people with cognitive impairment to delay the development of the disease through the stimulation of colors, patterns and hand-eye coordination. "Taking care of these elderly people is like taking care of children. Sometimes they forget the steps while doing it. At the same time, we also need to help them distinguish concepts such as color and size." Next to the activity area, there is a small wooden house with hanging hangings on it. Full of various models of switches, clocks, telephones, faucets, shoelaces, etc. Staff told reporters that the memory of the elderly will gradually decline, and they may forget even the most daily skills such as opening doors, pulling zippers, and fastening buttons. All we have to do is to constantly teach them and remind them.
The handicraft activities are over, and the old people are going to have dinner. The reporter saw that an old man wearing a shirt suddenly stopped serving food with a spoon and froze in front of the table. Observing something strange, Liu Hong quickly stepped forward and leaned into his ear to remind him to continue eating. Liu Hong told reporters that for the elderly with cognitive impairment, they sometimes forget that they are eating, or even forget that what is in front of them is food. This old man used to be a ball player, but his past glorious experiences seem to have been forgotten by him.
"To take care of these elderly people, one must be patient, and the other is to accompany and encourage the elderly with cognitive impairment to take care of themselves. Only in this way can the degradation of the elderly's life skills be delayed to the greatest extent." Liu Hong recalled, in order to take care of an unwilling The old man who was dining, the social worker and the caregiver took turns playing the role of his colleagues in the factory when he was young. They told him, "After the meal, the factory director will come to inspect. If you delay work, your meal ticket will be deducted at the end of the month." The old man had a smooth meal.
