As community workers, should we pay special attention to elderly people living alone? What can be done?

As community workers, we should pay special attention to the elderly living alone, and we can help them clean up or chat with them more.

There are still many elderly people living alone, because the children at home are making money outside and can only stay at home alone. As a community worker, his main task is to serve the community and people living in the community, especially some elderly people who live alone, so Bian Xiao thinks he can give special care to elderly people who live alone. Most elderly people who live alone may be in poor health, so their homes will be dirty. If they have better physical strength, they can actually help the elderly living alone to clean up, such as sweeping all the rooms and then cleaning the bathroom, so that the elderly living alone will live more comfortably. In addition, most elderly people who live alone have no one to take care of them all the year round, and no one to do housework. The living environment is not very good, so community workers can often come and clean them.

Bian Xiao thinks that you can also chat with elderly people who live alone, so that you can accompany them. Nowadays, many elderly people living alone don't expect their children to stay with them for a long time, but they really want others to talk to them, because staying at home alone is too boring, and community workers can sit in the home of elderly people living alone and then chat. For example, community workers can ask the elderly living alone if there are any omissions, and then ask the elderly living alone if they have encountered any happy things recently, so that the elderly living alone will not be so depressed after telling all their inner things. Moreover, Bian Xiao believes that community workers can build a platform for psychological counseling, because many elderly people who live alone stay at home for a long time and may have some psychological problems, so these elderly people can talk about their ideas on this platform without giving themselves too much pressure.

Finally, it is very important to take care of the elderly who live alone. After all, one day they will become elderly people living alone.
