As China’s economy continues to improve,the population ageing process has accelerated markedly.The problem of Shidu old people,which is the unintended consequence of our family planning policy,has become more and more prominent with the development of“Silver-haired wave”.Based on the particularity of Shidu elderly people,compared with other elderly people,their social needs are multi-dimensional,diversified and diverse.Along with the growth of age,the Shidu elderly who lack children as the main source of care and support,there are universal needs and a series of individual needs,such as endowment,medical care,day care,domestic service,spiritual and psychological comfort and group activities.In response to the needs of the Shidu elderly,grass-roots communities,as the main providers of social work services,have adopted a bottom-up service supply,for the elderly Shidu provided material life support and spiritual comfort support and other aspects of community services.With the continuous expansion of community services,new problems are emerging,which is worth further discussion: although the community provides comprehensive services for the Shidu elderly,but are the services professional and effective as expected? Can community services meet the real needs of Shidu elderly people? Is there a proper approach to service delivery? Does the demand of Shidu elderly people fit in with the supply of community services?Based on the above-mentioned problems,this study takes the Shidu elderly in w town of Shanghai as the research object,through the questionnaire survey to find out the satisfaction of the Shidu elderly to the community social work service,the social support rating scale was used to measure and evaluate the social support of Shidu elderly.Based on the theory of social support and the theory of supply and demand adaptability,according to the scores of social support,we select 7 elder people who have lost their independence as the representatives of service recipients and 3community workers as the representatives of service providers,in-depth interviews were conducted on whether community services matched the actual needs and urgent needs of the Shidu elderly.Through the research,it is found that there is a certain adaptability between community services and the needs of Shidu elderly people,however,there are still some problems,such as the low level of adaptation,the imbalance between the supply of community services and the needs of Shidu elderly people.This is manifested in the following aspects: the needs of the Shidu elderly in the service demand have not been given enough attention and the pain point of not being able to obtain the targeted service;the absence of the broad type of service in the process of the community services;The psychological and spiritual needs of the Shidu elderly have not been thoroughly explored;the lack of continuity and periodicity of service time has not formed a long-term and stable service pattern and long-term effective mechanism;the service content has a trend of individualization,but the number of people covered is not wide;Only for some of the elderly Shidu to provide such difficulties and blocking points.Based on the above-mentioned problems,this paper puts forward some suggestions and countermeasures: strengthening the service supply capacity and enhancing the relevance of the service;optimizing the service content and the service mode,and improving the adaptability of the service;strengthening the construction of the talent team,to provide targeted services,improve the quality of services,deepen communication,promote policy-led construction,improve the accessibility of services.
