The best buffet for elders canteens is not that it will not hinder “satisfaction”
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 Company has launched a vegetarian buffet experience activity in one of the elders’ canteens, and the effect is not bad.
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 is reported that for elderly people with limited mobility, volunteers will also be organized to provide loving home services. “It turns out that the buffets that young people like are like are like this. They are all fresh and they all get what they need, and they are frugal.” An old man said.

However, not every elderly canteen on Tongde Street currently has a buffet. There is no other food for elders 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 chat.Everyone is waiting for lunch time. At 11:30, with the sound of “Food is here!” A red insulated box was carried in, and the volunteers took away the meal that was about to be delivered to their door. 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 the old neighbors while carefully taking notes 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 elders choose to take them home. “It’s better to have a buffet, but it doesn’t matter if there is no Cinema. 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.

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 very familiar with the elderly. As long as they see the elderly, they will know what kind of food they like to eat and which ones they are afraid of.” She said, “As for whether the 1 yuan meal has a 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. Every day, every one is a symbol.If it complies with the standard, it 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 a one-yuan meal, comes to Babaylan for lunch every Monday to Friday. “I was very happy when I heard about a one-yuan meal. A Chinese lunch is very good for my living conditions. The food here is delicious and is already very satisfying. ”

Correspondence: Huanong & Agricultural Reclamation Bureau and other universities become elders’ canteens. There are also a total of Komiks integration also needs to understand each other
The elders canteen is also located in college canteens. In the Green Rongyuan Canteen of South China Agricultural University, faculty, staff, students and href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaElders can have dinner togetherBaThe dining in the hall is more “youthful” than other elders’ canteens.

Before entering the canteen, the reporter saw the sign of the “Elder Canteen” in the campus passage. In the canteen, there are special windows for caring lunch for retired teachers and teachers of China Agung and service windows for caring lunch for elderly people, with rich dishes. “I live nearby and come here to eat often, which is mainly very convenient. The government has opened such a love window for the elderly to eat for the elderly, so that the elderly can enjoy the benefits. I think it’s great.” Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily.
According to reports, when elderly people aged 70 or above who meet the government subsidy conditions and elderly people with special difficulties who are registered in Wushan Street who are 70 years old and above who are registered in special difficulties spend in the canteen, the government will give each person a subsidy of 6 yuan per meal. Elders who meet the conditions 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, 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 Komiks, Hua Agricultural University can withdraw some extra resources to serve the elderly. This can also be regarded as sharing resources to help the community share the pressure; at the same time, it also gives love to help some elderly people.” However, due to the limited venue and manpower, the number of elderly people who go to the canteen to have meals, which has caused some complaints between faculty and staff. He hopes both sides understand more.
At present, the canteen of the Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau also has a “Senior LoveBabaylanMealing Window” jointly built by the street to provide more convenience for the elderly. In addition, some restaurants have begun to become elders’ canteens. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District, has cooperated with Volkswagen Restaurant since the end of February this year to build it into one of the town’s community home-based elderly care meals.
Mentality: Is it rude to eat at the elders’ canteen?
Some elders believe that the elder canteen is a place where only the elderly 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 elder canteen. The reporter found that this was not the case when he visited. First of all, the software and hardware are more particular, and secondly, the cafeteria is just 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. Most of the family members were responsible for catering during the rest of the time. 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 up until now. The food environment here is very good, and the social workers here are also very familiar with me.” Grandma Tang, who enjoys a 9 yuan meal, said, “The dishes prepared every day are different, I like them very much.”
In addition, the long-time Babaylan 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, he needs to walk to a far-reaching vegetable market and buy dishes for one person, or ask the neighbors and neighbors to bring him some food along the way, and then cook small pots of food by himself
