Abstract
This paper focuses on the role of the Internet in empowering social work to intervene in ageing-in-place services for the disabled elderly in terms of time, space, and resources. Through the practical analysis of home care service providers, the advantages and characteristics of the “Internet” for ageing-in-place services for the disabled elderly are identified, as well as some of the problems that exist in the current intelligent home care service platform. This paper proposes to improve and optimize the “Internet+” by fully enhancing the technical empowerment of the Internet, improving the integration and spanning of space, and giving full play to the role of social work on the Internet. This paper proposes to improve and optimize the “Internet+” elderly home care services for the disabled, so as to solve to a certain extent the practical problems faced by the “Internet+” elderly home care services in the early stage of development. The significance of this paper is that, through the study of the “Internet+” home care services for the elderly with disabilities, the process of the services is sorted out and summarized, and suggestions and measures are put forward for its shortcomings, providing practical methods and feasible paths for future generations, which are of great significance for other social work agencies using Internet tools.
Highlights
By the end of 2019, China had 176 million elderly people aged 65 and above, accounting for 12.6 percent of the total population
China’s entire public elderly care industry is still in its infancy, the market for elderly care is still being explored, resources for nursing homes are scarce and costs are high, and the traditional Chinese concept that elderly people prefer to spend their old age at home and are less willing to go to nursing homes has led to a more obvious home-based nature of the elderly care sector in China
Everyone can connect across space through the network factor, while people who are originally distributed relatively far away from each other can quickly get in touch through the network platform of the Internet. e integration and spatial spanning of the Internet will improve the efficiency of the intelligent elderly care platform, promote better integration of the Internet and social workers, enhance the effectiveness of the “Internet+” home care services for the disabled elderly, and lay the foundation for the future development and growth of the home care industry
Summary
By the end of 2019, China had 176 million elderly people aged 65 and above, accounting for 12.6 percent of the total population. E breakthroughs in technological tools on the Internet and the integration of these breakthroughs with existing services offer new possibilities for addressing the diverse needs of older people, especially those who are disabled [4, 5] Likewise, this high degree of integration will lead to the satisfaction of the needs of the elderly with disabilities, the achievement of organizational efficiency, and operational goals, as well as the realization of the professional value of social work in helping people to help themselves, which will become a key focus point for the industry to break through the barriers to development and will give a strong impetus to the development of the elderly services industry.
