Are you a warm-hearted person? The word ‘warm-hearted’ has the extended and contagious powers. A warm-hearted person is always influential in pushing matters forward and helping lead them to good results. At Alian, a place located at the northern area of Kaohsiung city, such a warm-hearted person lives. With shoulder length hair, black framed glasses, and her signature smile, Huang Ching-Chuan, the village chief, always walks around to greet her villagers, showing great passion and kindness through her every posture. It is quite unbelievable that young Ms. Huang acts as a village chief while also being a single mother to three children and a nighttime student at Chia Nan University. What is the secret that enables Ms Huang to dedicate all her time to a busy, tiring schedule while enjoying it at the same time?

Origin


 20 years ago, former president Pan Chao-Xiong, Ms. Huang’s father-in-law, tried his best to encourage social caretakers to take care of the community. Gradually, the team of social caretakers grew from its original authentic group to an entire open volunteer group. In 2004 Alian village was awarded an excellence award for caretaking facilities. Former president Pan and his son, Pan Yi-Chang, took charge of the project and were extremely devoted to the cause. Ms. Huang, who helped her husband organize a lot of community events, decided to further the cause by studying at Chia Nan University’s Department of Social Work in order to become a role model to others. Influenced by her father-in-law and her husband, she decided to support the cause of community development and caretaking. Ms. Huang is devoted to the cause of taking care of communities, so in 2019 she succeeded as Alian village’s chief, and continues to further her cause.  

Alian village is a remote village that faces the same issues as other remote areas. These areas face issues such as an aging population, the lack of medical resources, and a cease of economic growth in the area. To help communities that face these issues, Ms. Huang partnered up with Chia Nan University to start the USR project. They hope to help these communities by providing education on the issues so that possible solutions may arise. It is a win-win situation; the communities get much-needed help while the university gets to care for local communities. After bettering the conditions of these communities, they hope to change the communities into a place where even visitors want to live; that’s where the idea of “building a home for Alians” came from.

Alia(e)n's Change Starts from here


As Ms. Huang mentioned: “In remote areas there aren’t enough medical resources; this affects the healthcare that elders can get. The shortage of caretakers impedes the development of communities. As the younger generation leaves for areas with better job opportunities, families face issues of having not enough caretakers to support the family.” This is why the USR project aims to help educate locals on entrepreneurship, healthy elderly diets, and joint structure of community welfare resources in order to facilitate community development.

An Advancing Society- Joint Structure of Community Welfare Resources


The idea of creating a service platform on cloud was introduced into communities through partnering up with Chia Nan University. A virtual community caretaking team was created; the team includes doctors, pharmacists, nutritionists, nurses, and other healthcare workers that were willing to help. Through cloud computing, elders in remote areas can get the immediate medical attention they need. Elders can register for an appointment through the platform or get medical guidance through the virtual community caretaking team, thus lowering the possibility of a delay in seeking medical attention. With the addition of pharmacists, elders can be more informed on drug usage; this decreases the possibility of taking the wrong medicine and wasting medical resources. Convenient and instant advice on diet nutrition prompts elders that live in remote areas to care more about their diet. Through instant online diagnosis by actual doctors, elders no longer need to travel really far to see the doctor. If there is a need to get a checkup at a larger hospital, the virtual platform can register an appointment for them.

A Warm-Hearted CEO (chief executive officer)- Tending to Local Needs 


Although technology can help provide better healthcare for senior citizens, what they truly need is to feel warmth and affection from their caretakers. When Ms Huang and the team of Chia Nan University USR were tallying volunteers, they noticed a few issues. The average age of volunteers kept on increasing, while there were no new members joining. In addition, since the caretaker job is time-consuming and needs the hour requirements, this is one of the reasons why the volunteer caretakers are getting less. The key to increasing the number of volunteers and helping the community grow lies in this issue. To enhance the quality of the volunteers, they were registered into a “volunteer data bank” and had to attend a young start-up CEO camp. Being registered into the data bank means that they could use a point system to ensure that people will fill the time requirement. This helps stabilize the number of volunteers that were in need, thus making sure the community was always taken care of.

The Economics of Elderly Health and Diet


Other than providing basic care for the elderly, that how to eat is also an issue. This refers to the issues: how to feed the elderly and what to eat for them, which is related to the toughness of foods, and whether or not it has enough nutrients. The USR project allocates students from Chia Nan University’s Department of Health and Nutrition and Department of Food Science and Technology to teach nutrition courses and cooking classes designed for the elderly in hopes of teaching elders how to eat healthy. In addition, they also partnered up with “Sailing Boat Catering Group Limited” to develop healthy food packets, in hopes that elders have convenient access to healthy food. These packets contain food that can be instantly consumed without being heated up, and is suitable for elders to chew and swallow. In the future, they are looking to partner with local farmers to stimulate local economies.

According to Ms. Huang, “The push for long-term care within communities will be a trend in the future; we must start before anyone else. Just like the idea of virtual hospitals where people can consult doctors, we had the idea before the Covid-19 pandemic. Planning for long-term care within communities is an arduous process, but if you do not try, how do you know if you will succeed. If the long-term care project for Alian community is successful, we can push the project to a larger scale. Slowly but surely, the idea of long-term community care will be planted in everyone’s hearts. Someday the seed of the idea will grow into a tall tree.”
