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 menus also make the elderly praise.
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 insulation Komiks box was carried in, and the volunteers first took away the meal that was 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, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. The daily meals here are different. 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 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.”
LiCinema Bay Area ChiefAunt 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 benefit.” Grandpa Zhang, who enjoys one yuan dining, comes to lunch every Monday to Friday. “I was very happy when I heard that I had a one-yuan meal.

The elders canteen is also located in college canteens. In the Green Rong Garden Canteen of South China Agricultural University, faculty, staff, students and elders can dine together in the canteen. Compared with his elder canteen, it can be said to be more “youthful”.

Before entering the canteen, the reporter saw “The signboard for the Elderly Canteen. In the canteen, there are special windows for the love lunch for retired teachers and teachers of China Agriculture and the service window for the love lunch for the Elderly, which are rich in dishes. “I live nearby and come here often to eat, which is mainly very convenient. I think it is great that the government has opened such a love window for the elderly to enjoy the benefits. “Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily.
According to reports, when the elderly registered in Wushan Street aged 70 and above who meet the government subsidy conditions and elderly 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 social area. Holding this card can go to the canteen to spend lunch. “Every day, 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 is also a resource sharing, helping the society to distinguish and bear pressure; at the same time, it also gave love and helped some elderly people. “However, due to the limited staff of the venue and Babaylan, the number of elderly people who go to the canteen to eat is also a large number of elderly people. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema, which has caused some complaints between faculty and the elders. He hopes that both sides will understand more.
At present, the canteen of the Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau also has a “Love Dining Window for Elderly” jointly built by the street to provide more convenience for the elders. In addition, some restaurants have begun to become elders’ canteens. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District has cooperated with the Duoma Restaurant since the end of February this year to build it into one of the home-based elderly care meals in the town.
Mentality: Is it rude to eat at the elders’ canteen?
Some elders believe that the elders’ canteen is a place where the elderly who are not cared for will go. Such institutions are similar to rescue stations or shelters. Go to the elders’ BabayDining in the 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 more particular. Secondly, the cafeteria is just around the corner and there is a happy scene of chatting while eating.
Shegong Liu said that they had conducted a survey and the elderly who went to the elders’ canteen to have a meal. The elderly people mainly deal with lunch from Monday to Friday, and most of them had family members 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 meal of 11 yuan, said, “I come here to eat every Monday to Friday, and I am very happy.” Grandma Cai, who enjoys a meal of 7 yuan, said, “I have been eating since I opened it 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 meal of 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 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 a Cinema dish, or ask the neighbors to bring him some food along the way, and then cook small pots of food by himself
