合理调整养老机构的功能结构

对养老机构功能分类的主要目的,在于方便政府主管部门的依法有效监管,目前我国绝大多数养老机构未进行功能定位,未来可将其分为重度护理养老院,中度护理养老院和轻度护理养老院等三类。根据我国的实际状况及海外的经验教训,21世纪上半叶我国应重点发展收养需重度护理老人的机构及其床位,近年来国际社会提出了“持续照顾”的新理念,据此未来我国城乡大多数养老机构应逐渐归并为两类,即复合型养老机构和单一型的重度护理养老机构。

A Rational Adjustment to the Functional Structure of Aged Support Agencies

Classifying functions of the aged support agency is mainly to facilitate the legal and effective supervision for the charging department. At present the function orientation has not yet been carried in to execution by most of our aged support agencies and hence in future we may consider dividing those a-gencies into the three categories of "high care", "mid care"and"low care"facilities. Considering our own reality and referring to lessons from other countries, we should emphasize to develop high-care facilities and corresponding accommodation. In recent years the international society has brought forward a new idea of "sustaining care". Accordingly,most of our urban and rural aged support agencies hereby ought to be merged into the two categories of " compound support agency" and " single high care agency".
