ABSTRACT

During the epidemic, nursing homes encounter many problems. The nursing homes are managed in a closed mode, so the satisfaction of the elderly in the nursing homes put a higher demand on the degree of construction of the nursing homes. In this paper, thirty self-care and semi-self-care older people are selected for a questionnaire survey at the Longde Road Campus of Qingdao Fuchai Nursing Home as an example. Combined with structured interviews with nursing home directors, we aim to propose a specific plan for the mechanism of resilience building and sustainability of nursing homes in Qingdao. Through data analysis and field research, we find that the nursing home has five problem. That is, the construction of facilities cannot meet the expectations of the elderly, the pressure on nursing staff, the inadequate medical system, the large gap between income and expenditure, and the lack of health knowledge of the elderly. In the government, the department to give preferential policies, change the operation logic, medical care integration, learn from the British-Japanese governance experience, improve the quality of facilities, increase the number of recreational facilities, rational planning of the area, the use of intelligent management and other programs. The construction of this nursing home will become more resilient, and its ability to withstand external disasters will increase.
