In recent years, the number of elderly people has increased year by year, and it is estimated that the number of elderly people in China will increase to 300 million in 2025. According to internationally accepted standards, when a country or region’s population of 65 years and over exceeds 7%, it means that it is aging; it reaches 14%, which means deep aging; if it exceeds 20%, it enters a super-aging society. At present, China has entered the aging stage. In 2020, the proportion of China’s elderly population aged 65 and above will reach 11.70%, and will soon enter a deep aging. It is estimated that by 2040, the proportion of China’s elderly population aged 65 and above will exceed 20%, entering a super-aging society. In this context, it is inevitable to vigorously develop the elderly care industry, and the huge elderly care group promotes the maintenance of high growth in the scale of the elderly care market. At present, most of the elderly in our country are elderly at home and in the community, forming a “9073″ pattern, that is, about 90% of the elderly are elderly at home, about 7% of the elderly rely on community support, and 3% of the elderly live in institutions for elderly care.
Why is it said that home care beds are a trend in the products of elderly care institutions in the future?
The traditional nursing bed originated from the medical industry and is widely used in the medical field. Because it can greatly reduce the pressure on nursing staff, the elderly care institutions in the past few years will purchase some medical beds to improve their facilities, highlighting this elderly care institution The professionalism of medical beds has been recognized by practitioners in the elderly care industry over time. However, with the gradual improvement of service equipment for the elderly, the disadvantages of medical beds have begun to show: the elderly lying on such beds will bring a negative psychological intervention to themselves (feeling that they are lying on the bed like the patient and feel that they are in control. No life, etc.). In addition, nursing homes are not as free as their own homes. Although nursing staff can take care of the elderly’s life, they are also very depressed in their hearts. They live in hospital-like nursing beds every day, and the feeling of hospitalization is lingering. Go, thus adding a psychological burden to life.
In order to deal with this phenomenon, home-based nursing beds are born. On the basis of the preservation of the functions of medical beds, the color matching and material use of the beds are more excellent.
Use wooden headboard and footboard to give the elderly home experience, use wood-grain guardrails to preserve the home style while bringing more intimate protection to the elderly. At present, the mainstream materials in the market are solid wood and compressed board materials, suitable for old functional beds, solid wood materials The main wood is rubber wood, beech wood and pine wood and then treated with environmentally friendly paint. The texture is very good, the model is high-end but the price is relatively high, the solid wood material is strong, and different color styles can be configured according to the environment of the elderly care institution; solid wood products It also has its drawbacks. Generally, solid wood materials are not handled well in dry and humidity and are easy to crack. Therefore, solid wood composite materials have become the best substitute for solid wood products. Multilayer boards are laminated with veneer paint. Judging from the products we have produced in recent years, solid wood multilayer boards are stronger and more durable than solid wood finger joint boards. There is almost no big difference between the two materials in the appearance of the finished product. Compared with solid wood materials, MDF or solid wood particle board is still slightly inferior in strength.
