Abstract

China’s population structure is undergoing an important period of rapid aging and development. The number of dementia patients has been increasing since recent years. As a result, it is significant to take good care of the elderly with dementia and ease the burden of their family and the society. This paper analyzes different nursing modes, including the professional organization care mode, the home care mode, the day care center mode, and the community mutual care mode. Then it builds a mode of community mutual assistance that combines “a professional integrated day care center with old-age support points based on household assistance activities”. The community mutual mode mainly achieves two goals, namely the availability of services and cost savings. Finally, this paper puts forward four suggestions, which includes doing a good job in the construction of supporting infrastructure, improving the social support network for dementia elderly people, establishing a long-term mechanism for financial investment and strengthening the long-term care insurance system.
