According to statistics, there are about 10 million patients with Alzheimer's disease in China. The aging of the social population is accelerating, and it is estimated that the number of patients will reach 40 million by 2050, which will cause a serious burden to the families and society of patients.
On the morning of September 20th, 2020-the day before the international Alzheimer's disease, Keke Holding Company held a unique public lecture in Menbeili Community, Guangxi, Beijing, aiming at increasing the awareness of community residents on the disease and paying attention to the renovation of old-age houses. With the theme of "Remembering the Plan", the lecture invited the first-line experts in the field of Alzheimer's disease in China and representatives of outstanding designers in the field of home decoration for the elderly to meet with more than 50 elderly people in the community to discuss disease prevention and daily life of patients.
At the public lecture site, Liu Ziqiang, director of the Medical Assistance Center of China Social Assistance Hospital and secretary-general of China Sunset Red Fund for the Elderly, affirmed the significance of this public lecture in his opening speech, calling on the whole society to care for this kind of "special" elderly people. He said that as a directly affiliated institution of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, China People's Social Assistance Research Institute has been paying attention to and devoting itself to the relief of cognitive impairment and humanistic care. 20 17 began the practice and research of "Let Love Go Home" for the elderly with greater cognitive impairment. 20 19 Rehabilitation Charity for the Elderly with Cognitive Impairment was launched at the National Convention Center, focusing on helping a group of social heroes and poor people with cognitive impairment who need home rehabilitation.

"When there are signs of danger such as memory loss, dyslexia, forgetting time, getting lost, etc. 10, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, and don't delay it because of face or luck." At the scene, Ji Yong showed his test questionnaire designed for early disease screening.
Alzheimer's disease is not inevitable. In the prevention and treatment of diseases, he especially reminded the elderly to pay attention to physical and mental exercise, eat more fish and vegetables in their diet, control blood sugar, lose weight, reduce blood fat and blood pressure, and achieve early detection, early treatment and calm face.
Another focus of this public lecture is the home environment safety of the elderly.
In this regard, Wu Xiaorong, as the explorer of aging home improvement and the founder and CEO of Easy Life, shared her thoughts. "The elderly are most afraid of falling, and some falls and fractures will make the elderly lose their mobility and self-care ability." Wu Xiaorong reminded the elderly at the scene that from the perspective of home improvement design, the major problems 10 such as ground height difference, non-slip floor tiles and no anti-fall and anti-collision protection threaten the home safety of the elderly.

To this end, she shared the cases of elderly family decoration in recent years. "It is not complicated to adapt to aging, such as installing handrails in the bathroom; Adjust the distance between the bed and the wardrobe; Install anti-trip corner protectors, etc. " These small modifications and tricks in the design of home-based care for the elderly can eliminate the hidden dangers from the root and eradicate the big problems in the lives of the elderly.
Some asked to recommend relevant doctors, and some asked to reform the toilet drainage. In the interactive questioning session, the elderly in the community had extensive and in-depth exchanges and consultations with experts. Although there were only two public welfare lectures, they were unanimously welcomed and affirmed by the old people in the community.
Community public lectures for special people, although small in scale, are a good start. Nowadays, Shell Public Welfare is calling on the service providers on the platform to enter the community and serve the society. Take the public welfare project of "teaching the elderly to use mobile phones" as an example. By the end of August 2020, Shell had conducted about 2 124 mobile phone learning courses in 3 12 communities in 4 cities nationwide, with nearly 72,000 participants.
Rooting in the community, connecting the community and serving the community are the simplest "community view" of Shell. I believe that in the future, the public welfare activities on the shell platform will benefit more community residents, and the relationship between real estate agents and the community will be closer and more harmonious.
