Establish a social support system for family caregivers of disabled elderly people

Fourth, strengthen financial security to ensure the continuity of caregiver support. Breathing services will be included in the payment scope of long-term care insurance, realizing the shared responsibility of the government, enterprises and individuals, and referring to the payment standards of other long-term care services, differentiated payment levels will be set according to the family income of the insured objects. Governments at all levels have incorporated the funds and expenses needed to support the work of family caregivers into their fiscal budgets, and established multi-channel fund-raising mechanisms. At the same time, social organizations and elderly care service institutions are encouraged to actively provide family caregivers with free counseling hotlines, psychological counseling, group training, temporary respite and other support services.

Fifth, we should continuously strengthen and improve the basic guarantee of caregiver support policies. First, conduct large-scale surveys on a regular basis. The main family caregiver information module can be included in the large sample survey of the elderly population in China, so as to understand the basic situation and social support needs of family caregivers, and provide strong data support for the formulation of relevant policies. The second is to strengthen the evaluation of the effect of caregiver support policies, comprehensively investigate the feedback and evaluation of disabled elderly people, family caregivers and support service providers, so as to find problems, summarize experience and make timely adjustments in the pilot stage. The third is to encourage people to set up more social organizations representing the interests of family carers, pay attention to family carers, innovate caregiver support service programs, and actively speak for family carers.
