At present, with the improvement of people’s living standard and the speed of urban transformation, more and more elderly people are joining the army of purchasing houses, but the improper purchase of houses not only causes inconvenience to the elderly, but also, invariably, greatly increases the risk of accidental injury, therefore, we have to talk about the house purchasing strategy for the elderly from the perspective of protecting bone health.
The characteristics of the motor system of the elderly are.
1. poor coordination of muscle and joint movements, and easy to fall.
2, osteoporosis. After a fall, fractures are easy to occur. And the elderly are mostly retired at home, the home environment plays a vital impact on the bone health of the elderly.
1. The house you buy should be close to supermarkets, food markets, your children’s homes and your trusted hospitals.
Nowadays, the elderly mostly live alone and live basically on their own. Being far away from food markets and supermarkets will bring a lot of inconvenience to life, and getting on and off the bus, especially in winter, is one of the main reasons for the elderly to fall down.
At present, China’s old-age model is still basically family old-age, children take the responsibility of old-age, therefore, it is better for children to live opposite to their parents, even if they do not live opposite to each other, the distance should not exceed 500 meters, once the parents have an accident, they can arrive and rescue in time, and also take care of each other in life.
If you live close to a hospital with a high level of technology, you will be more familiar with the hospital terrain and procedures, which will undoubtedly reduce transit and treatment time.
2, the housing area should be moderate, not too large, building area of 70 to 90 m2 is appropriate.
If the area is too large, cleaning is a heavy chore for the elderly. And too large an area invariably increases the walking distance of the elderly in their daily lives, which is more inconvenient for the elderly, especially the elderly with mobility problems.
3, the house type should be reasonable, the living room should not be too large, to not more than 30m2 is appropriate, but the bedroom area should not be too small, to more than 15m2 is appropriate.
Even if you go out on crutches, the elderly with mobility problems, most of them are not used to crutches at home, and are used to holding the corner or furniture. And too large living room in the middle of the lack of handrails can increase the risk of falling.
Bedroom is the main living space for the elderly, especially the elderly with mobility problems, if the area is too small, excluding the area occupied by the bed and furniture, the aisle becomes very narrow, the elderly in the bed and turn around, easy to trip and cause injury.
The house type with an open and square view is the best. Once the elderly fall down, they can be found in time. The house with irregular layout increases the difficulty of the elderly in their daily life, and once they fall down in the hidden part of the house, it is difficult to find out in time and miss the best time for treatment.
4.To buy a flat house, avoid buying a house with wrong floor or over floor.
The elderly have mobility problems and it is difficult to go up and down the stairs. In case of emergency, it is very easy to fall down the stairs and cause injury. If you are already living in a house with a wrong floor or a wrong floor, the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining room used by the elderly should be in the same floor as the best.
5.If it is not the ground floor, buy a house with elevator, but even if it is an elevator house, avoid buying a house on a high floor.
The elderly have difficulty going up and down the stairs, so buy elevator house, but the current residential elevators are mostly passenger elevators, space is small, can not put a stretcher, in the elderly accident needs first aid, stretcher man can only carry the elderly to take the stairs, high floor will undoubtedly reduce the chances of the elderly to get timely assistance.
6, to buy the south side of the drying table, bedroom light sufficient house.
The drying table and bedroom help the elderly to sunbathe, increase the absorption and utilization of calcium in the body and reduce the degree of osteoporosis. However, when sunbathing, open the windows, ultraviolet light can not penetrate the glass, closed windows, is not effective.
