However, currently not every elderly canteen has a buffet at TongdeKomiks Street 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 took the meal that Komiks was going to deliver to their 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 the old neighbors while carefully taking notes on the table.

Not many elders were having dinner on site, and there were only two Cinema that day. Aunt Li said that in the past, there were about 4-5 elders eating on site. Most elders chose to take them home. “It’s better to have a buffet, it doesn’t matter if there is no. The food here is different every day, today CinemaThere are fried chicken with ginger and green onion and shredded pork with black fungus beans, which is delicious! “Mr. Yang is satisfied with the food.

As long as they see the elderly, Komiks will know that the elderly are old. What kind of food does Komiks like to eat and which ones are taboo for them. “She said: “As for whether the 1 yuan meal has a quality guarantee, that’s of course.

Auntie 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 very happy when I heard that I had a one-yuan meal. I could have lunch for one dollar, which was very good for my living conditions. The food here was also delicious and I was very satisfied.”

Universities transform into elders’ canteens. There is also integration and mutual understanding.
The elders’ canteen is also located in college canteens. At the Green Rong Garden Canteen of South China Agricultural University, faculty, staff, students and elders can dine together in the canteen, which can be said to be more “youthful” than other elderly canteens.

Without entering the canteen of Babaylan, the reporter saw the sign of the “elderly canteen” in the campus passage. In the canteen, a special window for love lunch for retired teachers and teachers in China Nong, a lunch service window for love for the elders, is specially set up.Rich. “I live nearby and come here to eat often, mainly because it is very convenient. The government has opened 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 requirements can apply for a registration card in the community. Holding this card can go to the canteen to spend lunch. “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 our school, Hua Agricultural University can withdraw some extra resources to serve the elderly. This can also be regarded as sharing of resources to help the community share the pressure; at the same time, it also contributes love to help some elderly people.” However, due to the limited venue and manpower, there are also many elderly people who go to the canteen to eat, which has caused some complaints between faculty and staff and the elderly. He hopes both sides understand more.
At present, the canteen of the Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau also has a “Love Dining Window for Elderly” jointly built with the streets, providing more convenience for the elderly. In addition, some restaurants have begun to grow into Babaylan’s canteen. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District, has cooperated with Volkswagen Restaurants since the end of February this year to build Komiks into one of the town’s community home-based elderly care aid 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. Dining at the elder canteen is a very rude and even embarrassing thing. The reporter found that this was not the case when he visited. First of all, the hardware and software are betterIt is more particular. Secondly, the view from the canteen is a happy scene of chatting and eating.
Shegong Liu said that they had conducted a survey and the elderly Cinema who went to the elders’ canteen to have lunch, mainly explained that Babaylan decided to have lunch from Monday to Friday, and most of the family members were responsible for 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.” Grandpa Tang, who enjoys a 9 yuan meal, said, “The dishes prepared every day are different, I like them very much.”
In addition, the Elderly Cafe CinemaBabaylan does indeed bring happiness to the old neighbors. Grandpa Zhang, who only eats for one yuan, 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 dishes for one person, or ask the neighbors to bring him some food along the way, and then cook small pots of food by himself
