Diary of feelings about voluntary service in nursing homes

Everyone must have a lot of feelings about organizing activities to visit the elderly in nursing homes. I kept a diary and recorded my feelings of volunteering in the nursing home. Welcome to refer to.

1 x On that day, under the leadership of the First Party Branch, we came to Kemulang Hospital and carried out an activity of volunteering for the elderly living in the elderly service center. In the cold wind, everyone gathered on time and got on the bus to their destination. However, this is not just an activity, but a process of understanding. Although the activity lasted only one and a half hours, my mind was tempered in this short time.

In the process of singing red songs, massage and chatting to the elderly, I thought a lot.

In the service center for the elderly, several elderly people are too old to express their ideas in words. When they are too cold to reach for clothes, when they want to move to the seat next to them, but they can't move because of the inconvenience of their legs and feet, their thin bodies are shaking, and the desire in their eyes is combined with the helplessness expressed in reality, which makes people cry-how vigorous they used to be, but they have made contributions to the family and society, but they are so tired in their later years. In the process of chatting, an old man has always had many views on his family. Listening to the old man's story, we were all silent: the children who worked hard to raise left their biological mothers in nursing homes and ignored them for the comfort and freedom of life. Tears in the corner of the old man's eyes and excited language always let us see her heartache, her helplessness and injury. Isn't there a song whose lyrics are like this: We are all one person plus another, the wall of time, from their palms to our shoulders.

Everyone is working hard and struggling for life in this rapidly developing society. However, how can this be an excuse for us to abandon the elderly? Without the efforts of the elderly, where can we get food and clothing? Without the care of the elderly, our growth is strongly protected? Without the support of the elderly, how can we stand on the foundation and strength of society? With this in mind, how can you bear to let the old man keep a picture of his bedside and miss abandoning his family in the days when he should have enjoyed his old age? Perhaps, only by seeing the tears of the old people and listening to their stories can we deeply realize how warm and happy it is to leave two and a half footprints on the beach.

At the same time, as a student majoring in administration, looking at the living conditions and environment of the elderly in the service center for the elderly, I also deeply felt the burden on me. If the government can pay more attention to the elderly who are forced to live in nursing homes, buy them clothes in time when it is cold, and send them care and companionship when they are lonely, I think there should be smiles and comfort on the faces of the elderly who are engraved with vicissitudes of life. In addition, the brothers and sisters who watched the social work profession stand by and silently observed every old man. They knew their names, physical conditions and mental conditions like the back of their hands. Seeing this scene, I suddenly feel full of hope: yes, although the old people have no family to accompany them, they can still have this group of young and enthusiastic young people to pay attention to and care for them. This warmth, warmth in the chest, also warms our dedication and love. With the experience and feelings of this activity, I understand more about caring for every old man around me in time. Perhaps the Datong society of "old people and old people" is still a little far away, but only by doing our best and with our heart can we avoid the sadness and regret of "children want to raise and not wait for their relatives"!

The activity is over, but the heart is still shocking. In the days to come, we should be kind to the elders around us with such emotions and feelings, strive to improve ourselves and create a better environment for their old age. I think this is the most precious wealth of this activity.

Diary of Feeling about Volunteer Service in Nursing Home 2 Today, I took my fourth grade to the nursing home as promised. Maybe everyone is a volunteer, and everyone is very kind, so I didn't feel embarrassed and uncomfortable even though I just joined.

Everyone went to the nursing home by bike, and then each helped the old man. I help an old man clean the house first. Xiaosi said that the old man could not hear, so he would not wake up. I saw that he seemed to be laughing when he slept. I think he dreamed of his children.

Later, I chatted with an old man. He was still a member of the Huaihai Campaign, but he seemed to like watching TV very much. I suddenly feel that he is used to this life: he wakes up every morning, walks alone in the nursing home, and then sits in front of the door, watching the blue sky and listening to the sound of passing cars. Then I suddenly felt a little lonely.

In fact, this summary is not like a summary, but an idea in my heart. Maybe we should really spend more time taking care of the elderly. I've been thinking about where their children are, or maybe they are working hard for people who were in hot water at that time, and there are no children at all.

I found the old man humming a war song when he was watching a movie about war. I don't know what else to say, but I think these old people born in the war years really deserve our respect and concern.

I remember when I first met a fourth-grade student, he told me not to look at those old people with pity. Yes, even now, they look so weak, but their spirit makes them look very, very tall, at least in our hearts.

I thought I was good at dealing with old people, but today, I suddenly found that I don't know how to communicate with those old people, so I should work harder.

Diary of Feeling of Volunteer Service in Nursing Home 3 Friday seems as ordinary as before, but this Friday is not so ordinary because of volunteer activities. Although it was bitterly cold when I got up early in the morning, I couldn't help but feel warm when I thought that I could go to the nursing home to send warmth to the old people in the cold.

When I stepped on the bus, I felt that I was one step closer to my destination, and my heart could not help jumping for joy. It's really pleasant to do such a warm thing in the cold winter! In less than an hour, we arrived at our destination-the nursing home, which marked the official start of our activities today. After the social workers in the nursing home told us the relevant precautions, we collectively came to the fifth floor to carry out our work. When I arrived at the fifth floor, I felt a quiet environment. I don't know why my heart suddenly became calm. Maybe it's because where there are old people, it always gives people a sense of peace.

The first thing that caught our eye was two old people sitting quietly in chairs, waiting for our arrival. First of all, the first program is singing red songs, and I am one of them. When the slogan "One Two Three" sounded, all of us immediately made a sound and the song became loud. After Love My China, from singing the motherland to my China heart, red songs aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the old people. Old people can't help following us with their hands. We can really see that they are all integrated into this lively atmosphere like us. Perhaps this warm atmosphere infected us. While singing red songs loudly, we walked to the old man involuntarily. When the song ended, our parents-in-law gave us warm applause. Then the next program is to sing Hakka folk songs. At this time, I walked behind my parents-in-law and enjoyed this song with them. Meanwhile, when I saw a mother-in-law singing along, I suddenly felt that the old people were actually like children. As long as we give them patient care and love, they will feel very happy. What they really want is not material things, what they need is more concern from our practical actions.

When it's time to chat with my parents-in-law, I find that they need our listening more. I'm chatting with a lovely wife. When I praised her beautiful clothes, the old woman showed a bright smile. She told me that her daughter gave it to her many years ago, and she would wear it every winter. At this time, I suddenly found that the old woman's smile was particularly beautiful, because it was her heartfelt smile. That dress is full of the old woman's daughter's love for the old woman, which is a happy mother-daughter relationship. The old woman talked about the poor living conditions when she was young. I couldn't even read books, and I was a little sad. But the old lady is open-minded. She said it was all in the past. Life is good now and the children have a happy family. Especially when the old lady talked about her grandson becoming a traffic policeman after finishing college, her mouth couldn't help bending. Squatting in front of the old woman, I was moved in an instant. This is the most beautiful smile in the world. In fact, what the elderly need is not the material that our children and grandchildren occasionally give once or twice, but the care that we often give in our daily life. Even a greeting, a hug and a listening. At the end of the gift, my parents-in-law received socks from us, and they all showed sincere smiles. It's like the feeling of warm sunshine shining on them in cold winter. I know they are really happy. I think our trip today was not in vain. The smile of parents-in-law is the final reward.

When urban life is getting busier and busier, and people's pace is getting faster and faster, should we slow down, feel the warmth around us, care about our families and discover the beauty of life in this environment? A loving city cannot be achieved by the efforts of a few people, but everyone needs to contribute their love. Let little by little love gather slowly, let love fill our lives, and let us find love everywhere.

Diary of Feeling of Volunteer Service in Nursing Home 4. I felt very disappointed after the first day of contact with patients in nursing homes today.

When I used to work, my attending doctor once said to me, "I hate going to the old people's home for eyesight examination because it is full of urine." At first, I thought, "No matter how annoying you are, it is the final destination of most old people in America and even the whole western world." No matter how reluctant they are, no matter how many children they have, most people have no choice but to spend the rest of their lives there after being unable to stand on their own feet. Unless you are rich, you can ask for private care, which is another matter. "

The old man I saw today is very old, and the exact age is not clear. Two sons and two grandchildren, one of whom has passed away, and the other son lives close to the two grandchildren, but he doesn't visit them often. Four old people live in a room of about fifty or sixty square meters. I just walked into that nursing home, and I'm really peeing. I am mentally prepared. In the room, Mary was out, just in the bathroom, and three other old people were lying in bed, one watching TV and the other looking at the ceiling bored. Mary came out, skinny, lying in a wheelchair, covered with a blanket, conscious, unable to talk normally.

Because of the economic recession in recent years, many industries in the United States have been affected, and so has the medical industry, with a large number of layoffs, especially nursing staff. Therefore, there is a shortage of nursing staff, and many patients are incontinent and cannot be replaced in time. Even the nurse on duty comes in to change 15-20 minutes. Over time, the room is naturally full of unpleasant smells.

This living environment makes me feel sorry for them. Most of these people have children. When they were young, they tried their best to raise their children, but when they were old, they naturally fell into such a field. Then why do we have to work so hard to raise children? Just to enjoy being a parent? Do you know that after you have worked hard to raise your children, you are in such a bad situation in your later years? Will you really enjoy being a parent?

Human society is more harmonious because of love. China's traditional filial piety certainly has mental shackles, but do most parents have children just to support the elderly? With the experience and money spent on raising children, can't you ask a nurse to take care of yourself when you are old? When some people admire the so-called western civilization, they ignore the fact that any culture has both positive and negative sides. China's filial piety has the negative side of ignorance, but it is more of a positive and selfless side of self-sacrifice for others. Westerners say that "a person who knows how to love himself will love others". This is true, but a person who loves himself first and puts himself first at all times will not know how to love others.

I've been thinking about whether to have another child. Sometimes I ask my son, "If I can choose another brother and sister, do you like my sister or my brother?" ? My son always naively answers, "I want both". After listening to my son's words, I felt very sad. In fact, the original intention of parents is to help each other between brothers and sisters, not to let you grow up independently and rely on your own abilities. Who doesn't need help in life? Relatives are relatives in order to lend a helping hand to each other when they need help, especially between brothers and sisters. However, living in the United States for seven years has shaken my idea of having a second child. I don't want to create one life to help another. The affection between people is not so simple. One plus one equals two.

The experience of volunteering has given me a deeper understanding of the so-called "dross" culture in China. I am glad that I am from China and grew up under the influence of China culture. My son will also receive Chinese education. He has the right to choose which culture he likes or which he abandons, but as a mother, I have an obligation to let him know that he is half China.

Diary of Feeling of Volunteer Service in Nursing Home 5 Cuihu Senior Manor is the second nursing home I have been to. It's clean, tidy and open. I was amazed at its perfect conditions and peaceful atmosphere, as well as the happiness of the elderly. All this is very different from the nursing home I imagined.

Once, I went to a rural welfare home for the elderly. The moment I entered the yard, my heart almost turned into tears. I never thought the nursing home would be like this. Houses that don't keep out the cold, crowded rooms, unpalatable and nutritionless vegetarian food, eccentric blind children and old people who don't let people near when cleaning their rooms. As he groped for the outline of my face, I remembered what my parents used to say in an almost joking tone-when we are old, we will be sent to a nursing home to play with the old lady. At that moment, I wondered what my parents would be like in the future. I wondered if they would be uncomfortable and miserable. At that time, I made a promise that I never told them-I would never send them to a nursing home under any circumstances. When I am old, if they are still there, I will go with them. Even though I have been to Cuihu High Manor, this idea has not changed. Because even if the conditions are good and the staff are enthusiastic, I can still feel the loneliness of the old people. It is an emotion that can't be concealed after leaving children, no matter what the external environment is. I don't want them to be lonely.

Grandparents are like a group of children eager for love, freshness and vitality, which makes me have an impulse to love them for my children. If caring volunteers bring blessings and joy to their lives every day, I believe there will be less loneliness and loneliness here. In fact, whoever wants to leave their children behind and who really likes the life in nursing homes, the old people come with the idea of not dragging their children down.

When people reach a certain age, they will become more and more open-minded and tolerant. Most of them have experienced wars and chaos after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They have never enjoyed anything in their lives, but they have always been grateful and considerate of others. I suddenly feel how impetuous and narrow-minded my heart is. Grandma Lai will sob several times when she recalls the past, and she will say with tears that there would be no new China without the * * * production party. Those words are more touching and touching than those of any politician. It was the imprint of her time, and it was an emotion that the suffering brought to our experience could not be understood.

As long as I have time, I will go to see them. Talk and laugh with them and spend some happy time with them. This will also be a spiritual purification and accumulation.
