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. Since May this year, the Tongde Social Work Service Club in Baiyun District 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. On the price of Babaylan, the price was reduced from 20 yuan per 1 to 12 yuan per 1.

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 first 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.

She also said that in the elderly canteen, they will adjust the taste of the food 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 see the elderly, they will know what kind of food the elderly like to eat and which ones they are taboo. Komiks” She said: “As for whether the 1 yuan meal has a quality guarantee, that’s of course. As I have seen with my own eyes, fresh meat and vegetables will be transported back from the vegetable market at around 8 o’clock every morning. Each one is in compliance with the specifications and will be accompanied by invoices and other credentials. ”

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.

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 near hereKomiks often comes here for dinner, mainly because it is very convenient. The government has opened such a love window for elders to let the elderly enjoy the benefits. I think it is very good.” Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily. According to reports, when the elderly registered in the five mountains of Komiks and older who meet the government subsidy conditions and elderly registered in special difficulties who meet the government subsidy conditions 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 day, there are about 800-1,000 elderly people coming here to spend, and the number of people can be said to be very large.”

Why does the elderly meal 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 is also considered sharing of 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 a large number of elderly people, which has led to 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 become elders’ canteens. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District, has cooperated with the public 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 BabaylanThe software and hardware are all more particular. Secondly, the canteen is just a happy scene of chatting and eating.
Shegong Liu said that they had conducted a survey. The elderly who went to the elders’ canteen to eat mainly during lunch from Monday to Friday. During the rest of the time, most of them had family members responsible for the catering. Not only would they not feel ashamed, they also ate with relish.
Grandma Liu, who enjoyed eating at the 11 yuan, said: “I come here to eat every Monday to Friday, and I am very happy. “Grandma Cai, who enjoyed a 7 yuan meal, said: “I have been eating since the beginning of Komiks.com/”>Komiks has been open until now. The food environment here is very good, and the social workers here are also very familiar with me. “Grandpa Tang, who was dining for 9 yuan, said: “The dishes prepared every day will be different, I like them very much. ”
In addition, the elders’ canteen does 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. He has difficulty mobility and needs to use crutches, and the “one-yuan dining” also helps him. If he is not an elders’ canteen, he needs to walk to a far-reaching vegetable market to 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
