Meal assistance service is one of the most concerned and realistic livelihood needs of the elderly. In recent years, Shihua Street has actively responded to the needs of the elderly for elderly care services, and has opened community canteens and good-neighbor points in idle places, so that the elderly can enjoy more convenient and intimate meal assistance services at their doorsteps.
At 11 o'clock at noon, the reporter walked into the meal assistance point located in the 12th village of Shihua Street and saw that the old people were having lunch, and the steaming, nutritious and delicious meals such as fried tofu with lettuce, braised pork, and fried fungus with cabbage made the old people very happy.

The service is good and the facilities are in place.
The Twelve Village Meal Aid in Shihua Street was originally an idle house in the community, with a total area of 95 square meters. Due to the large number of elderly people in the community, in order to facilitate the elderly to eat at the door of their homes, Shihua Street integrated the work of community neighborly points and the love roll call action, and transformed this idle space into an activity place for the elderly integrating dining and interaction.

The property rights of this house belong to the neighborhood committee, and it is a pity that it is vacant. Combined with the characteristics of a large number of elderly people and a strong demand for dining, we thought of making use of this vacant house.
In addition to air conditioning, dining tables, chairs and sofas, the meal assistance facilities are also equipped with reading tables and chairs, bookshelves and televisions, which are carefully designed and furnished to meet the diverse needs of the elderly.

Although the sparrow is small, we want to make it have all kinds of organs, and set up each room into a different space according to the needs of the elderly, which can be used for dining, reading, entertainment, etc.
Due to the congenital insufficiency of conditions, it is not easy to add new public space in old communities. In order to meet the urgent needs of the elderly for meal services, the Party Branch of the 13th Village Residential Area transformed this indoor carport into a 40-square-meter meal assistance point. It has been running for more than a month, and has been praised by the old people. At the same time, the neighborhood committee also deliberately set up a new parking and charging point outdoors to meet the daily charging needs of residents.

We built an outdoor non-motorized vehicle parking and charging point, which is basically the same as the parking space of the original indoor carport, and there is no big change in the total number.
In the future, Shihua Street will further ensure the standardized operation of meal centers, actively promote the construction of community elderly care service centers, and integrate corresponding service facilities for the elderly in combination with elderly care service complexes to promote the higher-quality development of elderly care services.
