Aging with enjoyment

Uncle Peng, 82, who had been bedridden since a cerebral hemorrhage in May last year, moved into the nursing home at the beginning of this year. Caregiver Zhu Meiyu attempted to use a "portable intelligent bathing machine" to assist Uncle Peng with bathing, allowing him to bathe in bed, solving issues related to difficult movements and repositioning in bed.

In the rehabilitation center, Grandma Chen uses an interactive rehabilitation training system to strengthen her upper body muscles.

"This game-like exercise is never boring," said rehabilitation therapist Hao Huiyan. With the rapid development of technology, the nursing home is making great effort to help its elderly residents journey from "aging" to "enjoying aging", Hao said.
