Difficulties and Solutions in Caring for Cognitive Disorders in Elderly People with Dementia from the Perspective of Social-ecological System Theory

Abstract

With the deepening of population aging, the increasing population of cognitively impaired older adults in China has put forward an urgent demand for professional cognitive care. In the context of long-term care insurance policy, this paper will take R agency as an example and construct an analysis framework based on the social-ecological system theory at three levels: micro-system, meso-system, and macro-system. It will analyze the physiology and psychology of dementia elderly from inside to outside, how the sentinel care agency collaborates with the sentinel assessment agency, family, and community, how the LTCI policy support and financial support affect the cognitive intervention for cognitively impaired elderly, to promote the healthy operation of the care ecosystem, analyze the dilemma, summarise and put forward the optimization strategy, and provide the experience of providing care services for other aged care service agencies.
