The 12 yuan buffet menu has been changed every month
Since this year, many elder canteens in Guangzhou have made new ideas and launched many innovative services. The most eye-catching buffet is the Baiyun District elder canteen buffet. 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. In terms of price, it has been reduced from the original 20 yuan per 1 to 12 yuan per 1. It is reported that for elderly people with limited mobility, volunteers will also be organized to provide loving home services. “It turns out that the buffets that young people like are like are like this. They are all fresh and each needs are needed, and the people are frugal.” An old man said.
However, not every elder canteen in Tongde Street currently has a buffet. There is no other elder cafeteria hosted by the work service company of Tongde Society. However, the rich dishes and the monthly menu also praise the elderly. At around 11 noon on the 7th, several elderly people over 60 came to the elders’ canteen of the same 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 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.
There were not many elders eating on site, and there were only two that day. Aunt Li said that in the past, there were about 4-5 elderly people eating at home. Most elders choose to take them home. “There is a buffetCinema meals are better, and it doesn’t matter if there is no. The food here is different every day. 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.

The Elderly 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 “elderly 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, so that the elderly can enjoy benefits. I think it is very good.” Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily.
According to reports, the government will give 6 yuan subsidies for elderly people aged 70 and above who meet the government subsidies in Wushan Street and those with special difficulties who meet the government subsidies. 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, about 800-1,000 elderly people come here to spend money, and the number of people can be said to be very large.”
Why would a senior dining service window be opened 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 elders. This can also be regarded as sharing of resources, helping the community share the pressure; at the same time, it also gives love and helps some elders.” However, due to the limited venue and manpower, the number of elders who go to the canteen to have meals, which has caused some complaints between faculty and staff. 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 to provide more convenience for the elderly. In addition, some restaurants have begun to become elders’ canteens, such as Taihe Town, Baiyun DistrictCinema started to cooperate with the Komiks restaurants at the end of February this year, making it one of the town’s community home-based elderly care aid meals.
