Since this year, many elder canteens in Guangzhou have made new ideas and launched many innovative services. The most eye-catching one is the buffet at the elder canteen in Baiyun District Komiks. 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.

In terms of the price of Komiks, the original price was reduced from 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 Tongde Social Work Service Co., Ltd., but the rich dishes and the monthly menu also make the elderly praise it.

Hua Agriculture and Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, etc. College canteens transform into elder canteens and share them. They also need to understand each other.
The Elder Canteen is also located in the college cafe. 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 “Elderly Dining Hall” 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 here near Babaylan, and I often come here to eat, which is mainly very convenient. The government has opened a love window for elders to use Komiks for meals to allow the elderly to enjoy benefits. I think Cinema is very good.” Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily. According to reports, when the elderly with 70-year-olds who meet the government subsidy conditions in Wushan Street and above and those with special difficulties have spent 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, about 800-1,000 elderly people come here to spend money, and the number of people can be said to be very large.”
Why is it opened for senior dining service windows 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 resource sharing and helping the community divide.He also gave his love and helped some elders. “However, due to the limited venue and manpower, the number of elderly people eating in the canteen is also large, which has caused some complaints between faculty and staff and the elderly. 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 elderly. In addition, some restaurants have begun to become elders’ canteens. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District has cooperated with the Dumain Restaurant since the end of February this year to build it into one of the home-based elderly care meals in the town.
