In recent years, with the development of the elderly care industry, various elderly care institutions have emerged like mushrooms, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the elderly group. However, in the face of various names such as "xx nursing home" and "xx elderly care community", let alone distinguishing the elderly, employees in the elderly care industry are sometimes confused. What is the difference between different names?
With these doubts in mind, we have searched for relevant information and found that there are still significant differences between these elderly care institutions. So let's learn about the differences between these "nursing homes" together! Whether you or those around you have a need to stay in a nursing home now or in the future, please like and collect it, be prepared!
Starting with the city/district/county, most of the institutions that end with nursing homes/welfare homes/nursing homes are public/private non-profit institutions, while those that end with Pension XX Co., Ltd. are public/private non-profit institutions.
Simply put, you can use some enterprise query apps (such as Qichacha, Tianyancha, etc.) to enter the name of the institution and find out the nature of the institution. In addition, non-profit elderly care institutions are mostly directly under the jurisdiction of the Civil Affairs Bureau, while non-profit elderly care institutions are mostly under the jurisdiction of the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau.
When it comes to this part of people, they will feel that the nature of this elderly care institution has something to do with me. In fact, when choosing a elderly care institution, this nature is very particular.
For non-profit organizations, the government will provide varying degrees of support, which can basically ensure the daily life of elderly residents. The price is definitely very affordable! Some non-profit organizations with good services are even more difficult to find;
As the name suggests, a for-profit institution is established to make a profit, with varying levels of service, hardware, and fees. I would like to remind everyone that when choosing such institutions, some may involve large deposits or membership fees. It is recommended to choose public or strong background institutions as much as possible, so that funds are relatively secure.

After distinguishing the nature of institutions, let's talk about their functions. When it comes to functions, let's first popularize science: whether it's elderly care communities, elderly apartments, nursing homes, etc., there is a unified name in national standards and regulations - elderly care facilities. According to the "Architectural Design Standards for Elderly Care Facilities" officially implemented on October 1, 2018, elderly care facilities refer to facilities that provide centralized care services for the elderly, and are collectively referred to as full-time care facilities and daytime care facilities for the elderly.
If the elderly at home need 24-hour elderly care or care, they can choose the "Elderly Full Day Care Facility". If you are busy with work and can still take care of the elderly at night, you can choose the "Elderly Day Care Facility". Therefore, everyone can choose whether to take full day care or day care according to their own needs. The services provided by different institutions are also different, and some can take full day care, It can also be taken care of during the day, and some can only be taken care of all day.
Next, let's introduce the general functions of different elderly care institutions (elderly care facilities).
Nursing homes: Nursing homes mainly provide collective housing for the elderly and have relatively complete supporting service facilities, including basic medical services. The service of private nursing homes is relatively much better, after all, the price determines the service.
Nursing home: Nursing home refers to a medical institution composed of medical staff, belonging to the medical system and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health. Nursing homes provide various nursing services to elderly patients with semi disability/disability/dementia within a certain range.
Here we need to emphasize the difference between nursing homes and nursing homes: nursing homes place more emphasis on daily care. Nursing homes emphasize the medical functions of long-term illness, chronic illness, and end-of-life care. Nursing homes are more suitable for patients who require long-term professional rehabilitation care and end-of-life care.
Nursing home: The function of a nursing home is similar to that of a nursing home, but a nursing home belongs to a medical institution and has treatment and rehabilitation functions. However, a nursing home belongs to an elderly care institution and only has the function of centralized residence and support.
Rehabilitation Hospital: The function of a rehabilitation hospital is similar to that of a nursing home and also belongs to a medical institution. However, the difference from a nursing home before it is within a certain range. Rehabilitation hospitals provide rehabilitation services for short-term bedridden patients, such as fractures, after surgery. In addition, there is no age requirement for admission to rehabilitation hospitals.
Elderly care communities: Elderly care communities refer to residential communities for the elderly that not only reflect their home-based care, but also enjoy various services provided by the community. They are distributed more in the suburbs. It is a comprehensively managed residential type with a system of catering, cleaning and hygiene, cultural and entertainment, and healthcare services. Most of them are in the CCRC model, which refers to continuous care for retirement communities.
It should be noted that most elderly care communities target elderly people who are able to take care of themselves, provide care for them, and have certain economic capabilities. Elderly care communities have relatively complete supporting service facilities through the development of elderly care real estate. This type of institution mainly targeting self-care elderly people has free access.
Elderly care apartments: a scaled down version of elderly care communities, distributed more in urban areas. The function is similar to that of a nursing community, but the community size is relatively small compared to that of a nursing community. It can be understood that one to two separate buildings in the nursing community can be called nursing apartments. The target group is mostly elderly people who are self care, semi self care, and have certain economic capabilities.
Elderly Home: It was a public social welfare unit many years ago, established mostly in remote areas due to government funding. It is a place for rural areas to provide centralized support for the "Five Guarantees Elderly". The adopted "Five Guarantees Elderly" mainly rely on collective support, supplemented by necessary assistance from the state and society. At that time, it may have been felt that the word 'nurturing' would harm the self-esteem of the elderly, so it was called 'nursing home', which has been used since then.
Welfare institutions: Welfare institutions are mostly social welfare institutions established by civil affairs departments in cities and towns, with the task of adopting elderly, orphans, abandoned infants, and disabled children who have lost their ability to work, are helpless, and have no source of livelihood. All living expenses of the adopted person shall be borne by the government. The cost is relatively low.
Sanatorium: Similar in function to a nursing home, it used to be a sanatorium provided for retired military and political officials. A sanatorium is a medical institution established in a sanatorium (district) specifically for the purpose of strengthening the system, disease recovery, health recovery, and rehabilitation under the prescribed living system.
Nursing home: A facility that provides residential elderly care services for the elderly, including day care and full care. Different from traditional nursing homes, the conditions for running nursing homes are relatively simple, and one or two staff members can respond to emergencies if they have a little knowledge of medical knowledge.
Daytime Care Center: An elderly care service facility that provides daily services such as meal supply, personal care, health and rehabilitation, spiritual and cultural, leisure and entertainment, educational consultation, etc. for self care elderly and semi self care elderly people in the community. It has multiple service facilities such as daily living, cultural and entertainment, rehabilitation training, medical treatment and health care.
Elderly Service Center: A community service center that provides various comprehensive services for the elderly, with multiple or individual service facilities such as cultural entertainment, rehabilitation training, medical care, and door-to-door service projects.
With China's emphasis on elderly care and the improvement of residents' income levels, the elderly care industry is also undergoing rapid changes, and elderly care institutions with poor service quality will face the crisis of being eliminated at any time.
