On August 30th at around 9:40 AM, at the Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base, duty social worker Shan Shulian discovered that Aunt Yang, who was participating in activities in the multi-functional hall, suddenly felt dizzy and unwell. The situation was urgent! Shan Shulian immediately notified the on-duty nurse Wang Lijun and quickly reported to the on-duty leader Wang Yong. A life-saving rescue operation was promptly initiated.
Life and Death in 10 Minutes: A Perfect Relay from Discomfort to Hospital Treatment
Time is life! Wang Yong decisively activated the emergency plan: he instructed the on-duty driver Wang Maohua to drive the assistance vehicle to the scene immediately; he contacted Aunt Yang’s son, Brother Xiao, to inform him of the emergency and obtained consent for medical transport; and he immediately notified the medical cooperation unit at the base—the Shifang Shigu Central Health Hospital (Shifang Third People’s Hospital) emergency department, initiating the emergency response.

Immediately, a “Life Escort Team” composed of duty leader Wang Yong, nurse Wang Lijun, social worker Shan Shulian, and driver Wang Maohua quickly assembled to safely and smoothly escort Aunt Yang to the hospital.
Thanks to the seamless “green channel” between the Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base and the Shigu Central Health Hospital, the emergency medical staff were already on high alert. Under the efficient collaboration between the medical team and the base’s assistance team, Aunt Yang quickly underwent a series of professional examinations including ECG, CT scans, and blood tests. From the onset of discomfort to hospital admission, it took only 10 minutes! This can be regarded as a “rapid rescue” that safeguarded life.
Brother Xiao, who rushed over, witnessed this efficient, orderly, and warm life relay, and expressed deep gratitude for the professional quality and “family-like” care of the base staff. “The embedded care at Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base is ensuring the well-being of the elderly! It gives children peace of mind!” Brother Xiao excitedly stated.
After a thorough examination at the Shigu Central Health Hospital, Aunt Yang was diagnosed with transient cerebral ischemia. Fortunately, due to timely medical transport and treatment, her condition was confirmed to be stable. Heartwarmingly, the base’s meal assistance team also specially delivered warm and delicious meals to Aunt Yang and her accompanying son.

This test, which was both urgent and safe, is backed by daily professional accumulation and system guarantees. The efficient response in the “golden 10 minutes” not only fully reflects the scientific nature of the emergency plan and the tacit cooperation of the team but also serves as a vivid proof of the effectiveness of the Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base in deepening the embedded home care service model.
From Isolation to Integration: Embedded Services Illuminate New Life for the Elderly
Looking back to the eve of the National Day in 2024, Aunt Yang moved into the Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base. At that time, she was physically weak due to a previous stroke, highly dependent on others, introverted, and silent, with a long-standing sense of loneliness from living alone, which made her rarely participate in social activities or exercise.
In response to Aunt Yang’s situation, the base’s social work and care staff actively extended a warm helping hand: regularly monitoring her blood pressure, patiently inviting her to participate in various base activities, and actively encouraging her to join the base’s elderly university health and wellness classes… With the dual care of professional support and emotional companionship, Aunt Yang has quietly transformed over nearly a year of residence at the base: she has become cheerful and talkative, actively engaging with others; she exercises regularly, and her physical condition has significantly improved; she enthusiastically participates in “Silver Age Volunteer” services, transforming from a recipient to a giver, spreading warmth. Brother Xiao admitted that it is the continuous professional service and family-like care from the staff at the Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base that has revitalized his mother.

Embedded Care: Allowing the Elderly to Enjoy a Quality Life at Their Doorstep
The Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base always adheres to the original intention of “allowing the elderly to enjoy a happy life in their original residence” and deeply cultivates the embedded home care model. Its core lies in:
—— Deep Integration into the Community.The base is rooted in the community, allowing the elderly to enjoy high-quality services from professional institutions in a familiar neighborhood environment, achieving “staying close to home while remaining within the circle”.
—— High Coordination between Medical and Social Services.Deeply binding with medical institutions such as the Shifang Shigu Central Health Hospital, establishing a rapid response green channel to ensure health issues are “discovered, responded to, and addressed at the first moment”.
—— Multi-dimensional Interaction of “Care + Community + Medical + Mobility”.Based on professional nursing, social workers provide psychological comfort and social support, with rapid response medical resources ensuring safety, supplemented by assistance in mobility, meals, and other life services, weaving a comprehensive and seamless care safety net.
—— Personalized and Warm Companionship.Establishing exclusive health records, social workers and caregivers actively visit, providing meticulous care. Precisely matching activities and services to meet the elderly’s physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs, creating a sense of belonging and happiness in a “home away from home”.

In the context of an increasingly aging population, home-based elderly care has become a direction of high national concern and widespread social expectation. The Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base effectively addresses the pain points of traditional home care, such as “difficulty in accessing institutional services and insufficient emotional care” and “difficulty in feeling secure and unfamiliar environments in institutional care” through embedded services, successfully exploring a practical, sustainable, and warm community and home care solution.
This benchmark case of “10-Minute Rapid Medical Assistance” is a microcosm of the professional capabilities and warm services of the Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base—guarding the health of the elderly with efficient mechanisms, enhancing quality of life with professional services, and providing a happy old age with warm companionship. The Sanyikang Shigu Huating Base is proving through action that embedded home care is not just a model, but a reliable commitment to safeguarding the safety, health, and happiness of countless elderly individuals, providing a reassuring elderly care choice for community families.
