4 selected articles on social practice experience of helping the elderly in nursing homes

After reading the paper, I finally realize it, but I know that I have to do it in detail. As students, we cannot huddle in the ivory tower, but should go deep into society and participate in more social practice activities. So what did you learn from this social practice of helping the elderly in nursing homes? The following are "4 selected social practice experiences of assisting the elderly in nursing homes" compiled by me for your reference only. You are welcome to read them. Chapter 1: Social practice experience of assisting the elderly in nursing homes

Gray hair, holding a cane, and staggering walk have become symbols of the elderly; loneliness, loneliness, and helplessness also seem to be synonymous with the elderly. Old people, they have experienced countless winds and snows along the way, and what they need is care and love. When they are enjoying their old age, even a faint smile, a cordial greeting or a sincere blessing from us is enough to make them feel extremely warm and sweet.

Because of this, during this social practice, we came to the nursing home in xx City to carry out our "Have a True Feeling and Send a Warmth" activities where xx students went into the nursing home to help the lonely elderly. We hope that through our efforts, we can bring happiness to these elderly people.

Early in the morning, we made all preparations and arrived at the nursing home. The nursing home in xx City is located in a small town with a beautiful environment. As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the nursing home, we felt the enthusiasm of the elderly. Maybe it was because they had been lonely for too long that they finally ushered in the "liveliness". We brought watermelons and medicines to the elderly. Looking at their weathered faces and touching my mother-in-law’s thin and trembling hands, I felt bursts of sadness.

The first thing I do when I go to the nursing home is to help the grandparents clean their bedrooms. We put on the masks and got to work in full swing, dividing the work and cooperating, cleaning the windows and sweeping the floor without missing a beat. Seeing us working hard, although there was sweat on our faces, we didn't feel tired at all. We were very happy. We were finally able to use our own strength to do something for them. Looking at their grateful eyes, We feel that no matter how hard it is, it is worth it. We did a little thing for them, and they were enthusiastically grateful for a while. I suddenly felt that this simple "giving and receiving" feeling was very good.

The second thing is to chat with my grandparents. From their mouths, I learned about their ups and downs. One of them was an eighty-year-old grandfather who was a Red Army soldier. He said: "Life was very difficult when we were young. Whether we could have enough food and clothing was the biggest problem. Sometimes it was good to have a meal of sweet potato porridge." We also ate grass roots, tree bark, and even starved for several meals..." Grandpa recalled the bitter experience, but I could only listen, comfort and encourage. I really want to experience the scene with them. Later, my grandfather also said that the current stable social environment, good social security, and everyone's frequent visits made him very satisfied with his current life. Speaking of this, Grandpa also showed a happy smile on his face. Later, my mother-in-law also talked about the students of our generation and praised us greatly. In addition to talking, we also performed songs for them. In short, the singing and laughter in the nursing home at that time echoed for a long time.

The third thing is to distribute meals to the grandparents, help them prepare the bowls and chopsticks, deliver the meals to them, and watch their expressions of relish eating, even we feel that the meal Very fragrant.

Later, we competed with them in the gym and taught them Tai Chi. Seeing their funny actions despite their serious attempts to learn well, everyone laughed from ear to ear.

Time flew by and the event ended quickly. When we waved and left, everyone was a little reluctant to leave, but I believe we will definitely come back to see it again.

Through this personal experience of caring for the lonely elderly, heart-to-heart communication with them, and listening to their exciting life stories, I was filled with emotion: I felt sorry for the elderly living in that difficult period. I deeply sympathize with you and feel very lucky that we live in this stable and harmonious era. We are infinitely happy to be able to live in this era. We should cherish our current life and the people in front of us. We must also know how to respect our elders, be considerate of our parents, and communicate with them more. On the other hand, although the elderly have different life backgrounds and experienced different ups and downs, they have the same need - our care.

"I am old, and others are old." Caring for the elderly has been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. As a contemporary college student, a young person should promote virtue and communicate more with the elderly. In the last days of the elderly's life, Let them enjoy the warmth of family and the love of relatives during these days! Chapter 2: Social practice experience of helping the elderly in nursing homes

Friday seems to be as ordinary as in the past, but due to volunteer activities, this Friday is not so ordinary. Although the wind was biting when I woke up early in the morning, when I thought about going to the nursing home to provide warmth to the elderly in the cold weather, my body couldn't help but feel warm.

When I stepped on the bus, I felt that I was one step closer to my destination. I couldn't help but feel excited. It was so pleasant to be able to do such a warm thing in the cold winter! In less than an hour, we arrived at our destination, the nursing home, marking the official start of our activities today. After the social workers of the nursing home told us the relevant precautions, we collectively came to the fifth floor to carry out our work. When I arrived on the fifth floor, I felt like a peaceful environment. I didn't know why my heart suddenly became calm. Maybe it's because places with elderly people always give people a sense of peace.

The first thing that caught our eyes was two old people sitting quietly on chairs, waiting for our arrival. First of all, the first program to be performed was the singing of red songs, and I was one of them. When the slogan of one, two, three sounded, we all immediately sang out, and the singing became louder. After "Love My China", then "Singing the Motherland", and then "My Chinese Heart", red songs one after another aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the elderly. The elderly people couldn't help but beat the time with us with their hands. You can really see that they are integrated into this lively atmosphere just like us. Perhaps this warm atmosphere infected us. While singing red songs loudly, we walked towards the old man involuntarily. When the song ended, the parents-in-law gave us warm applause. Then the next program was the singing of Hakka songs. At this time, I walked behind my parents-in-law and enjoyed the singing with them. In the meantime, I saw a mother-in-law singing along with the song, and I suddenly felt that the elderly are actually like children. As long as we are willing to patiently give them care and love, they will feel very happy and happy. What they actually want is not material things. What they need is more of our practical concern.

When it’s time to chat with my parents-in-law, I find that they need our listening more. I was chatting with a lovely old lady. When I complimented her on how beautiful her clothes were, the old lady smiled broadly. She told me that her daughter had given it to her many years ago and she would wear it every winter. At that time, I suddenly realized that the old woman's smile was particularly beautiful, because it was a smile from her heart. That dress is full of the old woman's daughter's love for the old woman. It is a happy mother-daughter feeling. When the old lady talked about the poor living conditions when she was young and couldn't even read, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. But the old woman was very open-minded. She said that was all in the past. Now life is very good and her children have happy families.

Especially when the old woman talked about her grandson becoming a traffic policeman after finishing college, the corners of the old woman’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up. Crouching in front of the old lady, I was instantly moved. That was the most beautiful smile in the world. In fact, what the elderly need is not the material things that our children and grandchildren occasionally give them once or twice. What they need is the care that we often give them in our daily lives. Even a greeting, a hug, a listening ear. When the gifts were distributed at the end, my father-in-law and mother-in-law laughed sincerely when they received the socks we sent. It was like the feeling of warm sunshine shining on the body on a cold winter day. I know they are really happy, and I also feel that our trip today was not in vain. The smiles of parents-in-law are the final reward.

When today’s urban life is getting busier and busier, and people’s pace is getting faster and faster, should we slow down in this environment, feel the warmth around us, and How about caring about our families and discovering the beauty of life? A city with love cannot be achieved by the efforts of some people alone, but requires everyone to contribute their share of love. Let the love drop by drop slowly gather together, let love fill our lives, and let us find the existence of love everywhere.

Chapter 3: Social practice experience of helping the elderly in nursing homes

Donate your time and reap the rewards; donate your time and reap the value; donate your love and reap the touching. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. It is a precious spiritual wealth passed down by our ancestors. In our long-standing and profound traditional culture, the emphasis on human ethics and family harmony is the essence of our cultural tradition and a concrete manifestation of the strong cohesion and affinity of the Chinese nation. Everyone gets old sometimes, but it is everyone's duty to respect the old and love the young.

Early in the morning, all the officers of the Youth Volunteer Association of our hospital, led by the captain of the elderly care team, gathered downstairs in the Youth Association office with charity supplies, and went to the "xx" Nursing Home for the Elderly in xx District, xx City. Each of us will go through the process from childhood to youth, from youth to old age, and experience life and death. We are still in the youth stage, and there will be a long period of time in the future. How to go on, I think, everyone should have in mind Of course, maybe when we finish our life journey and it’s time to take a rest, do we also want to spend our old age like the elderly in nursing homes?

When I walked into the nursing home and faced the strange old people, I seemed very cautious at first. I didn’t know what to talk to the old people, and I was afraid to talk about their sad things. But all this was changed by an old grandfather. During the conversation, the old grandfather told me about his past life. In that old society, although my grandfather was an orphan, the society did not abandon him. , he also became a glorious Communist Party member. The grandfather also told me about their daily life. One of the things I felt was that they were so pitiful. They could only move around in that small yard every day, and the door was still open. Locked. The dean did this to ensure their safety, but I think their old age was very miserable, living like a "copy machine" every day. Elderly people who don’t want to live outside can accompany their grandchildren. In their spare time, they can go to the square to dance, play chess, and chat with other elderly people. However, the elderly people in the nursing home did not feel it. The conversations they had with us were more about things that happened when they were young.

On the way back, the old man followed us to the place where we took the car, always reluctant to leave. I have mixed feelings. The old people have dedicated their lives in obscurity at their jobs. Now their children are no longer around, but they still retain an optimistic and strong mentality. As they grow older and make more achievements in life, we, as the younger generation, should do our best to help them and care about their later life.

Through this activity, I learned a lot. Regarding my parents, I told myself that my parents will also grow old one day, and I must make every effort to take care of them and keep them by my side, no matter what their actions are. No matter how sluggish they become, no matter how hard it becomes for them to think. Because I know that sheep have the kindness of kneeling to breast, and crows have the father of feeding back. As young volunteers, we should care more about them. They are no longer lonely, and their lives are no longer so bleak, so that they can have one more person to talk to. Chapter 4: Social practice experience of nursing homes to help the elderly

In the eyes of many people, nursing homes are a place for lonely elderly people to live. Now, many elderly people with children take the initiative to enter nursing homes. Some of them were teachers, engineers, cadres, and some were art workers. They choose a nursing home because their children are busy with work, their home is on a high floor, and they have no one to chat with them; and because here they are with their peers day and night, with the same interests and hobbies, and similar concepts of life, which makes them feel that the sunset is infinitely better. At first, everyone seemed very reserved in front of some elderly people, but some students who were active, cheerful and outgoing were very enthusiastic and moved everyone. Some elderly people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, etc. The students also chatted with them patiently, helped the elderly tidy up their clothes, wiped the furniture, listened to the elderly talk about their past, and also shared their campus life with the elderly. They also performed a small show for the elderly, making these elderly people living in loneliness smile happily again.

We, who are usually pampered and pampered, walk out of campus into society and into the elderly. Chatting with the elderly as friends, and listening to their deeds was so fascinating. What made people even more happy was that some students actually took the initiative to go outside to buy things for the elderly at the canteen. When we arrived, we had already prepared some fruits, snacks, and moon cakes. But it was far from enough. Those students used their usual pocket money to buy food for the elderly. This scene is deeply imprinted in my heart.

A group of us visited some of the elderly’s rooms from morning to 12 noon.

Condolences to the elderly. When it was time for the elderly to eat, everyone followed the administrator who was responsible for distributing meals, condolences and helped the elderly eat. It is very inconvenient for some elderly people to eat and must be fed at the same time. At this time, everyone was no longer as restrained as before. The students all rushed to feed the old man, although their movements were clumsy. But everyone laughed happily when they saw the old man's smiling face. It feels like a happy family.

At around 1 p.m., by the time we finish our meal, the elderly usually come out for walks and exercise. The nursing home has a large courtyard with many exercise equipment for physical exercise. There were quite a few old people walking and exercising and saw us coming. Just play some little games with us.

Through chatting, we learned about the daily lives of the elderly. Some elderly people cannot stay at home because their children are busy with work, and some are sent here by their children. Although some people are not used to it at first, they gradually get used to it as time goes by.

The elderly are very happy here. When they have time, they will watch TV or play mahjong in the shade of the trees downstairs or in the living room upstairs, or they will also go downstairs to do some Simple exercise. Therefore, the elderly can be considered healthy in their later years here.

Through this chat with the elderly, we understand a lot, understand their past experiences, understand their hard work, understand their hopes for their children, and even more understand their hopes for us. Most of the elderly people living on the first floor have limited mobility. Quite a few of the elderly people on the second floor have just lived here for less than a year. We went up to the second floor and found some old people chatting with their children, and some playing chess.

We expressed condolences to an old woman, and she actually cried. Very sad. We chatted with her patiently and heard her say that she had given all her retirement pension to her children. Her children sent her here regardless of her and rarely came to visit her. A classmate told my grandma that we are all your children. We also performed a show for my grandma, who burst into tears and laughed, and we reluctantly left.

Each of us will experience the process from childhood to youth, from youth to old age, and experience life and death. We are still young, and we still have a long way to go in the future. I think everyone should have an idea of ??how to go on. Maybe when we finish our life journey and it’s time to take a rest, will we spend our old age happily like the old people in the nursing home?

There is this passage on the wall of a nursing home: Children! When you were very young, I spent a lot of time teaching you to eat slowly with a spoon and chopsticks. Teach you to tie your shoelaces, buckle buttons, slide, wear clothes, comb your hair, and twist your nose. These little moments with you make me miss you so much. So, when I can't remember and can't answer the words, please give me some time, wait for me, let me think about it again, it is very likely that I will forget what I want to say in the end. child! Have you forgotten the first baby song we learned after practicing it hundreds of times? Do you still remember that every day I always rack my brains to answer questions that come from nowhere? So, please be considerate of me when I tell old stories over and over again and hum the nursery rhymes from my childhood. Let me continue to indulge in these memories! I hope you can accompany me to chat about everyday things! Boy, now I often forget to button my buttons and tie my shoes. When I eat, my clothes will be stained, and my hands will keep shaking when I comb my hair. Don't rush me, but be more patient and gentle with me. As long as you are with me, a lot of warmth will come to my heart. child! Now, I can't stand on my feet and can't walk. So, please hold my hand tightly and stay with me, slowly. Just like back then, I will take you step by step.

The nursing home has two floors, with rooms for the elderly on the first and second floors. Under the guidance of the staff, we dispersed to chat with the elderly. It is divided into many small suites. There are three elderly people living in one small suite, and there is a TV in the small living room. When we entered, we saw three mothers-in-law sitting and watching TV. After sitting down, we were a little inexperienced, and the elderly people who were new to us were a little unfamiliar. We changed several topics, all in a question-and-answer format. Are you used to living here? Are you used to living here? Habit. Are there any activities usually held here? No. Does your family come to visit you often? Yes, I have. It was quite embarrassing. This situation lasted for 3 or 4 minutes.

Later, when we talked about family issues, one mother-in-law had tears in her eyes. We think she must have remembered something unpleasant. Sigh...it feels like we messed things up. Several times we wanted her to express her grievances to make her feel better, but the answers were basically nothing. Later, we probably learned that quite a few of them were unwilling to come here and felt comfortable living here far away from their children. She is very lonely and helpless, so as not to arouse her pain and remind us again, we should not chase the culprits for the questions they are unwilling to answer, otherwise we will make many mistakes.

About an hour later, we used a wheelchair to take the elderly to a shady place to gather. We performed some small programs for the elderly and sang a few songs, such as Grateful Heart, Unity is Strength, Dongfanghong, and the original and modern versions of Emperor's Tweed... The shortcomings were that we were not fully prepared and the connection between the programs was not smooth enough. However, the elderly were very cooperative and willing to interact with us. They also had a lot of fun. This made us happy. After singing, we also performed some dances, and asked some elderly people who like to sing to come up and show off their singing voices. At close to 11 o'clock, we ended all the programs with the chorus of "Grateful Heart" as the finale of the program.

Many days have passed since the practice, but every time I think of the old man’s face, I am always moved and miss him. These people who were once young and have dedicated their lives are gradually getting older, and they really need more of our attention and love. I suddenly realized the burden on myself. As we grow up, we have more responsibilities on our shoulders.
