As a renter, I can't escape the pressure of paying rent at the end of each month. House prices keep rising, and rents also rise sharply. Young people's pockets can never keep up with the increase in rent.
The topic on Weibo: "Young people only need 300 yuan to live in an apartment for the elderly?" is still very popular. The reason may be that it has attracted the attention and curiosity of many renters. This "living in a nursing home" project was initially initiated as a volunteer activity in a nursing home in Hangzhou. You can live in an apartment for the elderly with a monthly rent of 300 yuan, but the premise is that you have completed at least 20 hours of volunteer service to help the elderly every month. In exchange for the opportunity to stay, I did not expect that many young people would participate as soon as the news came out. Among the young people who stayed there was a 29-year-old self-employed entrepreneur. He opened a calligraphy training center and usually tutored some children to practice calligraphy. After learning about this activity, he was the first to sign up and has been coaching the elderly in the nursing home to practice calligraphy. It has now become the most popular daily leisure and entertainment activity in the nursing home.
The young people who moved in said that the house has floor-to-ceiling windows, a large balcony, a workbench, and a separate bathroom. The rooms are all facing south and fully furnished. They are very satisfied with the accommodation facilities. Data shows that China's elderly care institutions are currently in an embarrassing situation. Public elderly care institutions are in short supply, but the occupancy rate of some private elderly care institutions is not high. Faced with the remaining empty beds, public and private elderly care institutions have the autonomy to decide how to use them. Moreover, the rent income of fresh graduates in my country's first-tier cities has hit the red line. Almost half of the money they earn is used to pay rent, and the remaining funds can no longer support basic living expenses. There was once a joke on the Internet that said: Don't scold young people, they will resign immediately.
At first glance, it seems like this, but later netizens made up a follow-up to this paragraph: middle-aged people go back to raise rents for young people, and young people who say they don’t want to work will eventually One day he will become a middle-aged man who is scolded at will. Therefore, in summary, allowing young people to live in nursing homes not only makes the best use of resources, but also allows private nursing homes to save costs. It can also reduce the financial pressure of the young renting generation. I think this is a mutual help and win-win situation. model. At present, not only nursing homes in Hangzhou have launched this project, but nursing homes in Suzhou and other places have also begun to implement this policy. I believe that as time goes by, more and more places will implement it.
