Experience of voluntary service in nursing homes
This is a line from a TV series with the theme of missing in autumn. The play depicts a single mother who has worked hard for her children all her life. When the mother was too old to make any contribution to her children and suffered from Alzheimer's disease, she was abandoned by her children, but no matter how old her mother was, her love for her children remained unchanged. After that, they finally realized the greatness and depth of their mother, and finally, of course, the family was happy.
This time I went to a nursing home, I also set foot on this land with great respect. Because every old man I am about to meet is a father or a mother, giving without reservation and having deep and lasting love.
They received us warmly, and those kind and generous smiles immediately dispelled our little nervousness. Led by the elderly and staff, we visited this nursing home. What makes us very happy is that the conditions here are very good. The room is big and bright. Even if the old people sit in their rooms, they can enjoy the birthday wishes of 25 1 and bask in the sun. Moreover, every room has air conditioning. Besides these, there are many recreational facilities and sports facilities. In their spare time, the old people can also play table tennis, table tennis, chess, Tai Chi, sword practice and movies.
Later, in the process of chatting with the old people, we learned that most of the children of the old people are busy. They were sent to a nursing home because they didn't have time to take care of the elderly. At the same time, because the conditions and facilities of the nursing home are very good, you can probably rest assured. The old man's children don't often go home, so the old man is very happy to see us, to chat with us, and to be moved by our arrival.
After performing our carefully prepared programs, the old people invited us to participate in their activities. I didn't expect the old people to be so skilled in table tennis that we were defeated in a few rounds. At this time, the old people's faces also show a little childish pride, which makes us feel more cordial.
When we left, the old people were reluctant to part. When we got on the bus, the old people waved goodbye to us, which reminded me that every time I came home after the Spring Festival, my grandmother stood at the intersection and waved goodbye to us, unwilling to turn around for a long time. My heart is a little sour.
Volunteer service experience in nursing homes II.
This is the first time in my life to volunteer in a nursing home. I always wanted to go before, but I couldn't because I thought of something else. Finally, I had the opportunity to go to the nursing home with members of our volunteer alliance and have face-to-face communication with many elderly people. Reflections on the activities of nursing homes. This volunteer service activity for the nursing home aims to show sympathy to the elderly who are lonely and widowed in the nursing home, let them feel the warmth of the big family and send them a caring and warmth.
Respecting the elderly is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. However, with the rapid development of social economy and increasingly fierce competition, more and more elderly people are left out in the cold. It is the nursing home that makes these people in need find their homes again and get the warmth and love of their homes.
Looking at the lonely old man, the first feeling in my heart is: uncomfortable! Although I was ready before I went, when I saw it with my own eyes, it was still difficult to restrain my inner excitement. I have worked hard for my children for most of my life, but now I come to the nursing home when I should enjoy my old age.
The most important thing to treat the elderly is to respect them. Maybe they are indifferent to us, maybe they are not familiar with our accents, maybe they are always absent-minded in conversation, maybe they are hard of hearing. We should all talk to them patiently and slowly, ask about their living conditions with concern, and call them "grandparents" kindly. Long-term loneliness makes them somewhat closed, and it takes time and care to melt this gap.
During the activity, I started talking with the old people to get to know each other first. Try not to mention his (her) children and try not to ask the reason for coming to the nursing home. In fact, the conversation at the beginning was all empty information, which was nothing more than asking the old people to talk about their past and previous achievements. I always keep looking for topics, only expecting to make their lives more lively, make their lives less melancholy and form a good listener with my own efforts. But silence is also suffocating and embarrassing.
In addition, we also arranged programs for the old people to send smiles and a little warmth to their monotonous lives. Dancing and singing are all carefully arranged by us, and inviting the elderly to sing revolutionary songs with us has pushed the atmosphere to a climax. After that, the origami activities brought us closer to the old people in the process of learning from each other. We also massage the backs of the elderly to activate their muscles and bones. Although the movement is a little lame, the old people are still very happy and praise us for being considerate.
Thinking about the schedule of the old people, the activity time will soon end. At the end of the activity, we took photos with the old people and recorded the last moment of our trip with a camera. After bidding farewell to the old man, we set foot on the return journey.
Through this voluntary service activity in the nursing home, the students' body and mind became clearer, and they understood that the sunshine was not stingy to every corner. They open their hearts to accept the lonely elderly in nursing homes, give them joy, bless them and accompany them to a better life. At the same time, we call on each of us to start from the small things around us, dedicate our love, and carry out the volunteer service purpose of "serving the society and being happy" to the end.
In this activity, I found that some students didn't communicate enthusiastically enough, some people didn't understand what they should do, and there would be awkward silence during the chat. In this regard, I think future activities should be planned more carefully and more problems should be considered; Educate volunteer members to respect and love the elderly and explain the benefits of respecting the elderly; It is necessary to organize more similar activities, find and solve problems from the activities, improve the quality of volunteer service activities in nursing homes, and let the old people feel more care.
Experience of Volunteer Service in Nursing Home (3)
I am old and old, and I am young and young. Respect for the elderly, as the essence of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, has a long history. In order to carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, improve the gratitude consciousness of contemporary college students, do our best to help the elderly, warm the elderly with our warm hearts, and let the elderly who have lost family warmth in nursing homes feel love and care, and spend their old age happily. I followed the volunteers in Quanjiao County, gathered at the gate of the county government at around 8: 00 in the morning, smiling, and drove to the nursing home.
Volunteers are divided into two teams: the first team is led by the head of the volunteer group to perform cultural performances for the elderly; The second team, led by the vice captain, cleaned the nursing home.
The head of the team led the first team to the old man, who told the volunteers about the hard years in the past and the good life now. Although grandparents' words are not very clear, volunteers can become loyal listeners. Spiritual communication and subtle movements can best make grandparents feel that we are not relatives at the moment, which is better than the care of relatives! Others cried with the old man while listening to his grandfather's memories. Next, the volunteers performed one wonderful program after another for the old people, especially when the volunteers sang old songs such as Dongfanghong and Hong Hushui Waves, which caused the old people to cry strongly. The old people sang to the beat, and the scene was warm and warm. Volunteers also performed two special programs: Poetry Reading of Summer Lotus and Grateful Heart. Looking at the smiles of the old people, the volunteers showed more effort. It is worth mentioning that under the kind invitation of the head of the delegation, several old people also performed on stage, which fully demonstrated the charm of "sunset red". There was endless laughter and laughter at the event. What impressed me the most was an old grandmother, who was 87 years old and still full of energy. She reminisced about the years of the Liberation War and her young life and told us to cherish today's happy life. Grandma also sang an old song for us, and the volunteers gently beat the beat for the old man, quietly listening to the melody of the old man reliving the years. Finally, our performance ended with the beautiful singing of "Better Tomorrow" by all the volunteers.
The second team led by the deputy head is responsible for cleaning. Boys are responsible for cleaning the corridors and stairs on the second floor, while girls are responsible for cleaning the windows and glass inside and outside, and putting garbage into our own vice president to make up the bed in the room. It was a fine day, so it was better to sleep at night. The nursing home is full of volunteers' bright smiles and sincere feelings.
This activity made me realize that it is the classroom and knowledge, but also the training of the backbone destroyed by years, which inspired everyone to participate in chatting with the elderly, pinching their shoulders and beating their legs for the elderly, and doing their "grandson" filial piety. From the activities of the nursing home, I felt different people and different lives, and also deeply realized the importance of "old people and old people, young people and young people". Looking at the old people who came together because of misfortune and died alone, every volunteer has a hope in his heart, hoping that we can bring some warmth to the old people and hope that the old people can spend their old age happily. At the same time, the activity not only gave the students a chance to exercise, but also sent a warm heart to the old people, making them feel the warmth of the big family. We call on more people to volunteer and experience the happiness of contributing to society, helping others and growing up.

In order to enrich our weekend life, let students know about the life of the elderly in nursing homes, and contribute to the love of our teenagers, our fresh air volunteer Xu Yi Squadron organized us to go to nursing homes this weekend to send care to the elderly.
Before that, the monitor informed us of the time and place of the meeting. Because this is my first time to go to a nursing home, I am a little excited and curious. At eight o'clock, our group set off on time for a nursing home called Tianfu. I heard it wasn't far, so we walked.
After walking for about half an hour, I entered a community and walked inside. We're going to a nursing home. There are quite a lot of old people in it, and the nursing home is also quite large, with three floors in total. The person in charge of the hospital told us about these old people. Most of them were sent here because the children were busy with work and had no time to take care of them. Some of them have no children and live here alone. On the first floor, several students were arranged to play cards and mahjong with the elderly. Our team was assigned to the third floor. The old people on the third floor are basically very old people lying in bed. As soon as we went in, they looked very happy. Let's help them up. It may be that I have been in bed for too long and lack someone to talk to. Nice to meet us.
We happen to have one-on-one communication with the elderly. Some old people can't hear well, so they can only hear when they speak loudly. Some old people can't explain it clearly, and many non-Xuzhou locals can't understand it. Some students learned to sing and dance, and performed for the elderly on the spot. The old people were very happy, and some people kept clapping. Some chat with the elderly about their family and experiences. There is an old lady in her seventies. She is very talkative and has been to many places to tell us about her experiences in Beijing and Qinhuangdao.
Time passed unconsciously, and three hours seemed to be only a few minutes. The captain said we were going back. Together, we wish the old people good health, happiness and longevity, and promise them that we will visit them often in the future. Then the members helped the old people back to their rooms one by one. Reluctantly left, and at the same time we were very happy.
In fact, we all know that what these old people lack is not material resources, but inner spiritual companionship. They don't ask much, just hope that our children can visit them often and chat with them so that they don't feel lonely anymore. However, our meager strength alone can certainly not solve all the things that need attention in society. Therefore, we hope and appeal to people from all walks of life to extend their hands and offer their love, so that the old people will no longer feel lonely, let them really enjoy their old age and build our big family together.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of May 26th, a group of 40 volunteers from xx Medical College arrived at Haikou xx Home Apartment for the Aged as usual to volunteer. In the hot summer of May, their arrival brings refreshing coolness and happiness to the elderly every weekend. Although simply pushing the old people out to bask in the sun, pulling the family, giving them a massage and cleaning, it shows that contemporary college students have inherited China's good model of respecting and caring for the old, showing the inheritance of the traditional virtues of respecting and caring for the young.
A group of ten people, some sweep the floor and clean the windows, some take the old people out for a walk, help the old people massage and scrub, do their jobs and do their best. Yan Yan of xx medical laboratory class is from Anhui. She usually likes reading books about massage. When giving massage to the elderly, she is skilled and has appropriate strength, which is very popular with the elderly. "Old people are very kind and lovely, and I am very happy to chat with them." Yan Yan studies alone in xx. Away from home, she will inevitably feel lonely and homesick. She thinks the old man will be as lonely as she is. Seeing those old people, just like seeing her grandparents, came to xx's home and made her feel the warmth of home as an international student. Finally, Yan Yan said, "Each of us will grow old and hope to get more attention. In the days to come, I will try my best to make my grandparents happier and happier. " Wei Shanshan, another midwifery major, said that she had been to a similar nursing home before, and felt that the old people in xx family were more cordial and should be taken care of carefully. A classmate from Qing Ye also said that everyone is willing to get close to the elderly, but they are afraid of not knowing nursing knowledge and hurting the elderly. Therefore, it is suggested that the staff of the apartment can give them some training, tell them some precautions and skills, avoid accidents and let volunteers know more about the elderly. Another Yang Tong from Fujian is mainly responsible for scrubbing the fan of the apartment today. It was very hot, and the sweat quickly wet his clothes without fans, but he carefully scrubbed the fans in every room. He said that he had been a volunteer before, but he always went to Lv Wan Garden to pick up garbage. Today, when I met the old people, I felt that they had no family, which was very pitiful. Although they are very tired today, it is more meaningful than picking up garbage. I hope the old man's family can visit us often.
"I'm glad that these students sacrificed their weekend breaks to visit us and thank them," said Grandma Du on the second floor, holding hands with the volunteers. With the progress of society, there are more and more volunteers, but it is very rare and valuable for volunteers like xx Medical College to do voluntary service around the clock.
At noon 1 1: 30, the volunteers reluctantly bid farewell to the old man: "Today is the last day of our volunteer plan this semester, but our plan for next semester has also come out, and we will continue to carry out our love to the end." Every old man, every volunteer, has two lines of tears.
