Từ 7h30 mỗi ngày, tại Trạm Y tế phường Long Biên
From 7:30 am every day, at Thach Ban Health Point (Long Bien Ward Health Center), many families bring relatives to the facility for health care. Most families are busy with work, do not have much time to take care of the elderly, so this model helps them feel more secure when their loved ones are monitored for health and participate in daily activities.
Do các con, các cháu đều bận rộn với công việc, ban ngày bà Nguyễn Thị Múi (82 tuổi, phường Long Biên) thường phải ở nhà một mình. Vì vậy, con trai bà đã đưa bà đến Cơ sở chăm sóc sức khỏe ban ngày để được theo dõi sức khỏe và tham gia các hoạt động sinh hoạt. Sau thời gian trải nghiệm, gia đình quyết định đăng ký cho bà sử dụng dịch vụ theo tháng. Theo bà Múi, đến đây vui hơn ở nhà vì có nhiều người cùng trò chuyện, giao lưu và tham gia các hoạt động, nên không còn cảm thấy buồn chán.
Because her children and grandchildren are all busy with work, during the day Ms. Nguyen Thi Mui (82 years old, Long Bien ward) often has to stay home alone. Therefore, her son took her to a daycare facility to monitor her health and participate in daily activities. After a period of experience, the family decided to register her to use the service monthly. According to Ms. Mui, coming here is happier than staying at home because there are many people to chat, socialize and participate in activities, so she no longer feels bored.
Mỗi buổi sáng, ngay khi đến cơ sở, người cao tuổi được nhân viên y tế hướng dẫn, hỗ trợ khám sức khỏe ban đầu tại tầng 1 trước khi tham gia các hoạt động tại phòng sinh hoạt chung.
Every morning, as soon as they arrive at the facility, elderly people are guided and supported by medical staff for initial health check-ups such as cardiovascular measurement, blood pressure, and daily medication control of the elderly.
Sau khi kiểm tra sức khỏe, các cụ sẽ được hướng dẫn đến phòng sinh hoạt chung, nơi có nhiều hoạt động vui chơi như hát karaoke, vẽ tranh, đọc sách, chơi cờ vua, cờ tướng hay đánh bài tam cúc.
After health checks, the elderly are guided to the common living room, where there are many entertainment activities such as karaoke, painting, reading books, playing chess, Chinese chess or playing Tam Cuc cards.
Mọi hoạt động vui chơi của người cao tuổi đều có sự quan sát, hỗ trợ của các nhân viên y tế.
All entertainment activities of the elderly are observed, supported and enthusiastically guided by medical staff.
Bên cạnh các hoạt động vui chơi, cơ sở còn có phòng y học cổ truyền phục vụ ngâm chân, xoa bóp, bấm huyệt và châm cứu nhằm nâng cao sức khỏe, cải thiện chất lượng cuộc sống cho người cao tuổi.
In addition to entertainment activities, the facility also has a traditional medicine room serving foot soaking, massage, acupressure and acupuncture to improve health and improve the quality of life for the elderly.
