Abstract

Objective: To investigate the status quo of pension service system in Xi'an, analyze the existing problems and propose corresponding countermeasures. Method: The elderly and pension service institutions in Xi 'an were studied. Results: Survey showed that about 63% of the elderly in Xi'an are mainly home-based, the awareness of security needs to be strengthened, and the local level of spiritual and cultural construction has also failed to meet the needs of the elderly. In addition, due to the low level of economic and social awareness, a considerable number of elderly people can not afford to seek medical treatment, or worse, many elderly people do not visit a doctor even if they are sick. Analysis: The survey results showed that some people's misconceptions about old-age care, the low level of support for old-age care services, the lack of specialized certification for some old-age care workers and the inadequate diversification of old-age care service systems. Proposal: We should establish a correct concept of pension service, pay attention to the spiritual needs of the elderly on the basis of ensuring the basic needs of the elderly, and implement a strategy of healthy aging so as to improve and gradually solve the problem of population aging in our country.
