Aging with enjoyment
Smart technology is bringing smiles to the faces of the elderly residents as well as caregivers at nursing homes
There are even more intimate "companions" that have brought warmth to the elderly residents in the nursing home in Shenzhen, Guangdong province.
Ninety-year-old Grandma Lin has dementia. "Her emotions were not very stable. Sometimes she would unlock her wheelchair, posing a risk of falling, and she would also randomly pick up and throw things on tables in the common area," said her caregiver Xu Chunyan.
In 2022, when Lin was gifted a doll, her attention was immediately captivated. "She treated the doll as her own baby, never leaving its side. When the weather turned cold, she would even tuck the doll in with a blanket," Xu said. The doll gradually stabilized Lin's emotions, prompting her to initiate conversations with others and return to a normal daily routine.
