Since this year, many elders canteens in Guangzhou have made new ideas and launched many innovative services. The most eye-catching buffet for elders canteens in Baiyun District. Starting from May this year, the Baiyun District Tongde Social Work Service Club has launched a vegetarian buffet experience activity in one of the elders’ canteens, and the effect is quite good.
Hundreds of private Cantonese cuisine and dim sum are added to the Elderly Canteen, making the vegetarian buffet both novel and healthy. In terms of price, it has been reduced from the original 20 yuan per 1 to 12 yuan per 1.

It’s all fresh, and everyone needs it, and it’s up to others.” An old man said.

However, not every elderly canteen on Tongde Street currently has a buffet. There is no other elder cafeteria hosted by Tongde Social Work Service Co., Ltd., but the rich dishes and monthly menu also make the elderly praise it.
At around 11 noon on the 7th, several elderly people over 60 came to the elders’ canteen on Tongde Street. Some of them read newspapers, some chatted, and everyone was waiting for lunch. At 11:30, with the sound of “Food is here!” A red insulated box was carried in, and the volunteers firstTake away the meal you want to deliver to your door in turn. The gray-haired elder followed the volunteer to pick up the meal. Aunt Li from the social work service club took the meal tickets from old neighbors, while carefully recording the Cinema on the table.

There are not many elders eating on site, there are only two that day. Aunt Li said that in the past, there were about 4-5 elders eating on the spot. Most of the elders Komiks chose to take them home. “It’s better to have a buffet, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one. The food here is different every day. Today is fried with chicken with ginger and scallions and shredded pork with black fungus beans. It’s delicious!” Mr. Yang was satisfied with the meal.

Meals are reduced in price and foods are not reduced in quality. Some do not have household registration restrictions.
The elders canteen in Lingnan Street, Liwan District was officially opened in October last year. “Starting from July 23 this year, due to the corresponding subsidies provided by the streets, different categories of elderly people will have different degrees of price reductions, while the “three-no staff” will be reduced to a minimum of 1 yuan per meal.” said Ge Fangfang, the person in charge of the canteen.

She also said that in the Elderly Canteen, they will adjust the taste of the meal according to the different needs of the elderly, such as white rice, one is soft and the other is hard, suitable for different elderly people. “The social workers here are already quite familiar with the elderly. As long as they meet the elderly, they know what kind of food the elderly like to eat and which ones they are afraid of.” She said: “As for whether the 1 yuan meal is of quality assurance, that is of course. As far as I have seen with my own eyes, fresh meat and vegetables will be transported from the vegetable market at around 8 o’clock every morning. Each one is in compliance with the standards and will be accompanied by invoices and other credentials.”

Aunt Liu, a social worker in the Elderly Canteen, said: “At present, in our Elderly Canteen, there are three elderly people who deliver meals to their homes and enjoy one-yuan dining benefits. “Grandpa Zhang, who enjoys one-yuan dining, comes to eat at noon every Monday to Friday. “I was quite happy when I heard that there was one-yuan dining. I can have lunch for one dollar. It is very good for my living conditions. The food here is delicious and is already very satisfying. ”

Universities transform into elders canteens There is also need to understand each other. The elders’ canteen is also set up in the university canteen. At the Green Rongyuan Canteen of South China Agricultural University, employees, students and elders can dine together in the canteen. Compared with other elders’ canteens, it can be said to be more “youthful” than other elders’ canteens.
South China Agricultural University Canteen
Before entering the canteen, the reporter met the “elder” in the campus passageThe signboard for the canteen. In the canteen, there are special windows for the love lunch for retired teachers and teachers of China Agriculture and the love lunch service window for the love lunch for the elderly. The dishes are rich. “I live nearby and come here often to eat, which is mainly very convenient. I think it is great that the government has opened such a love window for the elderly to enjoy the benefits. “Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily.
According to reports, the government will give each person a 6 yuan subsidy for elderly people aged 70 and above who meet the government subsidy conditions and elderly people with special difficulties in Wushan Street spend in the canteen. Elders who meet the requirements of Komiks can apply for a registration card in the community, and they can go to the canteen to spend lunch with this card. “Every lunch time, about 800-1,000 elderly people come here to spend in Babaylan, and the number of people can be said to be very large. ”

Why does the elderly dining service window open in colleges and universities? The canteen manager said: “In addition to meeting the basic requirements of the school, China Agricultural University can withdraw some extra resources to serve the elderly. KomiksThis is also a resource sharing, helping the community share pressure; at the same time, it also gives love and helps some elderly people. “However, due to the limited venue and manpower, the number of elderly people who go to the canteen has a large number of elderly people to eat, which has led to some complaints between faculty and staff and the elderly. He hopes that both sides will understand more.
At present, the canteen of the Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau also has a “Love Dining Window for Elderly” jointly built by the street to provide more convenience for the elderly. In addition, some restaurants have begun to become elderly canteens. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District has cooperated with the Duomo Restaurant since the end of February this year to build it into one of the home-based elderly care meals in the town.
Mentality: Is it rude to eat at the elders’ dining hall?
I href=”https://comicmov.com/”>KomiksSome elders believe that the elder canteen is a place where only elderly people who are not cared for will go. Such institutions are similar to rescue stations or shelters.It is very rude and even embarrassing to eat at the elders’ canteen. The reporter found that this was not the case when he visited. First of all, the software and hardware equipment are more important. Secondly, the view of the canteen is a happy scene of chatting and eating.
Shegong Liu said that they had conducted a survey and the elderly who went to the elders’ canteen for dining mainly for lunch from Monday to Friday. During the rest of the time, most of them were responsible for the catering. Not only do you not feel ashamed, but you also eat with relish.
Grandma Liu, who enjoys a 11 yuan meal, said, “I come here to eat every Monday to Friday, and I am very happy.” Grandma Cai, who enjoys a 7 yuan meal, said, “I have been eating since I opened it, and Babaylan. The food environment here is very good, and the social workers here are also very familiar with me.” Grandpa Tang, who enjoys a 9 yuan meal, said, “The dishes prepared every day are different, I like them very much.”
In addition, the elders’ canteen does indeed bring happiness to the old neighbors. Grandpa Zhang, who has a “one-yuan dining”, has a monthly retirement salary of 1,600 yuan. He is not only a “three-no-person”, but also a disabled and an elderly person with widows. He was unable to move and needed to use crutches, and the “one-yuan dining” really helped him. If he is not an elder’s canteen, he needs to walk to a far-reaching vegetable market and buy one-person dishes, or ask the neighborhood neighbors to bring him some food along the way, and then cook small pot meals by himself
