ABSTRACT: Based on the practical background of aging of the
Chinese population and the “Separation of Medical and Health Care” and faced
with the demand for health care services increasingly, this paper attempts to
analyze the current development situation of the old-age care model of “CMHC”
institutions, thus puts forward feasible suggestions for perfecting the old-age
care model of “CMHC” institutions in China. This paper takes Xinyu Yinhe Park
Elderly Service Center, Jiangxi Province as an example, adopts the method of questionnaire
survey and interview, investigates the operation status of the center, the
basic situation of nursing staffs, the basic situation of the elderly and their
satisfaction of life, and analyzes the survey results by using the method of descriptive
statistical. The study finds that the old-age care model of “CMHC” institutions
in China is in the stage of exploration and development, which is faced with
the lack of talents, low service level, the shackles of traditional old-age
concept, the lack of government policy support, shortage of funds, the
disordered management of government departments and other internal and external
difficulties in “CMHC” institutions. Based on the previous study, this paper
argues that we shall improve and develop the old-age care model of “CMHC”
institutions in our country, and must support this patter with a long-term
policy, attach importance to “CMHC”, encourage the active participation of
social forces, and vigorously cultivate talents in “CMHC” under the guidance of
the government, and then establish long-term care insurance system, so as to
create a good internal and external environment for the development of “CMHC”
old-age care service in China, and thus contribute to the development of China’s
old-age care business.
