The Study On "Public Built And Privately Run" Old-age Caring Institution's Operation And Management

The issue of old-age caring has now become an increasing focused problem in China where the trend of aging is getting severe.Under such circumstance,it is urgent for our country to develop a more flexible and comprehensive old-age caring institution.What we concern for the old is how to make them feel happy,safe and comfortable in their later lives.However,the current old-age caring institutions--public-run or privately-run cannot meet the needs of China's aging requirements.This presses us to dig out more creative institutions for the social development.At the same time,a new kind of institution called 'public built and privately run' old-age caring institution emerges,allowing the public fund enter into the public-built old-age caring institutions' establishment and management.In this study,the author takes the 'public built and privately run' old-age caring institutions in Nanning as the examples to conduct all the analysis in the ways of document analysis method,participant observation method,and interviewing method.Nanning Xinyang Zhenqing Old-age Nursing Home,an old-age caring representative institution operated with the mode of 'public built and privately run' in the Xi Xiangtang District of Nanning,will be taken as the research object.During the research,many problems,such as insufficiency in government supervising,deficiency in operating fund,low quality in service,and disorder in responsibilities between institutions and staffs,have been found in the managing processes of 'public built and privately run' old-age caring operation.Four main reasons are committed to these problems.Firstly,both the scale and dimension of government supervising are under the stage of exploration during the initial phase of the 'public built and privately run'operation.Secondly,the weakness of channels for capital collection leads to the problem of fund deficiency.Thirdly,laggard service awareness for old-age caring causes the low service quality.F:inally,unclear burden between institution and staffs confuses the responsibilities of accidents.Base on the causes to these problems,we are going to put forward some relevant improving measures.First of all,the responsibilities of government should be clearly defined by amplifying government's supervising mechanism,coordinating various management,releasing different unctions of each parts,and transforming government's managing method.Besides,it is also significant to clear the accountabilities of the old-age caring institutions and to improve their service qualities,in the ways of introducing more professional nursing staffs,applying the Internet,adopting advanced technology to secure health,building a third-party assessment system,establishing evaluating system,and inviting the social workers.At last,a series of comprehensive supervisory systems for the old should be perfected,in order to secure the rights of the old and the caring institutions.
