However, not every elderly canteen on Tongde Street currently has a buffet. There is no other elder cafeteria hosted by Tongde Social Work Service. However, the rich dishes and monthly menu also make the elders 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 they had delivered to Komiks in turn. The gray-haired elder followed the volunteer to pick up the meal. Aunt Li from the social work service club took over the old streetThe meal tickets from the shop are carefully recorded on the table.

Most elders choose to take them home. “It’s better to have a buffet, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. The food here is different every day.

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.”

Universities transform into elders’ canteen There is also need to understand each other
The elders canteen is also located in the university canteen. At the Green Rongyuan Canteen of South China Agricultural University, faculty, students and elders can dine together in the canteen. Compared with other elders canteens, it can be said to be more “youthful”.
Before entering the canteen of South China Agricultural University, the reporter saw the sign of the “elderly canteen” in the campus passage. In the canteen, a special window for the love lunch for retired teachers and staff in China Agriculture and a service window for the love lunch for the elderly are specially set up, with rich dishes. “I live nearby and often come here to eat Babaylan, which is mainly very convenient for Cinema. The government has opened a love window for the elderly to eat, so that the elderly can enjoy the benefits. I think it is very good. “Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily.
According to reports, when elderly people aged 70 and above who meet the government subsidy conditions and elderly people with special difficulties who are registered in Wushan Street are spending 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, there are about 800-100 elderly people who come here to spend their meals, and the number of people can be said to be very large.”

Why does the elderly use Cinema meal service window be opened in colleges and universities? The canteen manager said: “In addition to meeting the basic requirements of the school, Hua Agricultural University can withdraw some extra resources to serve the elderly. This is also considered resource sharing and helping the community share the pressure; at the same time, it also contributes love to help some elders.” However, due to the limited venue and manpower, the number of elders who eat in the canteen is also large, which has led to some grievances between faculty and elders. 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 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.
Liu ShegongThey said that they had conducted a survey and the elderly who went to the elders’ canteen to eat mainly for lunch from Monday to Friday, and most of the family 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.” Grandma 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 Komiks 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 help him with a crutch, and he was really helping him with a cane. 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
