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 is Babaylan. Starting from May this year, the Baiyun District Tongde Social Work Service Babaylan carried out a vegetarian buffet experience activity in one of the elders’ canteens, and the effect was pretty good.
Hundreds of private roomsCinemaCantonese cuisine and dim sum are added to the elders’ 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.

However, not every elderly canteen on Tongde Street currently has a buffet. There is no other elder cafeteria hosted by the Komiks Association Work Service Club. However, 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 Komiks Tongde Street Elderly Cafe. Some of them read newspapers and some chatted, and everyone was waiting for lunch. At 11:30, with the sound of “Food is here!” “A red insulation box was carried in, and the volunteers first took away the meal that was to be delivered to the door in turn. The gray-haired elder followed the volunteer to pick up the meal. Aunt Li from the social work service company took the meal tickets from the old neighbors and took notes on the table seriously.

CinemaThere are not many elders eating on site, only two on 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, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t. The food here is different every day. Today is fried with chicken with ginger and green onion and shredded pork with black fungus beans, which is delicious! “Mr. Yang is satisfied with the food.

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 the elderly. “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 afraid of. “She said: “As for whether the 1 yuan meal is of quality assurance, Komiks is of course. As I saw with my own eyes, fresh meat and vegetables will be transported back from the vegetable market at around 8 o’clock every morning. Every one is a symbolIf it complies with the standard, it will be accompanied by invoices and other credentials. ”

Elderly canteens are also set up in college canteens. At the Green Rongyuan Canteen of South China Agricultural University, faculty, staff, students and elders can dine in the canteen together. It can be said that it has a more “youthful” atmosphere 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, 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 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 800-10Cinema00 elderly people come here to spend, and the number 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 that both parties will 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. 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, software and hardware equipmentThey are all 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 went to the elders’ canteen to have a meal at the elderly. The person who was the one who was the one who was responsible for lunch from Monday to Friday. The rest of the time, most of the family members were responsible for the catering. Not only do you not feel ashamed, but you also eat with relish.
Grandpa Liu, who enjoyed 11 yuan, said, “I come here to eat every Monday to Friday, and I am very happy.” Grandpa Cai, who enjoyed 7 yuan, 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 enjoyed 9 yuan, 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 he needed to use a crutch to help him with a “one dollar dining”. If it is not the elder cafeteria, he needs to walk to a far-reaching vegetable market and buy one-person dishes, or ask the neighbors to bring him some food along the way, and then cook small pot meals by himself
