There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood, and the branches and leaves are always related. In recent years, Xinglong Street in Kenli District has focused on the needs and expectations of elderly residents, relying on the civilized practice position of the new era, integrating the resources of the jurisdiction, and continuing to organize and carry out diversified volunteer service activities for the "for the elderly" civilization practice, so as to promote the implementation of "the elderly have support, the elderly have dependence, the elderly have learning, the elderly have something to do, and the elderly have fun", turning the "old-age care" of the elderly group into "enjoying the old", and creating a civilized and new long-term for the elderly.
Improve security and realize "old age"
Near noon, the "Canteen for the Elderly" in Dong'an Community, Xinglong Street, Kenli District, was steaming hot and fragrant, and the elderly residents sat at the dining table, enjoying delicious meals while happily talking about homely food. "I'm 74 years old, and it's sometimes inconvenient to buy and eat by myself, but now the community has opened a canteen, and you can eat hot meals in a few minutes downstairs, and if you don't feel well, a phone volunteer can also deliver it to your home, which is very good." Wang Yongjun, who lives in the Dong'an community, gave a thumbs up.
In order to actively adapt to the aging of the population and continuously improve the service level of "for the elderly", the Dong'an Community Comprehensive Elderly Care Service Center of Xinglong Street has specially built a "canteen for the elderly" for the elderly, focusing on providing high-quality meal services for the disabled, living alone, advanced and difficult elderly in the community, and using convenient and thoughtful services to let the elderly in the community eat nutritious and affordable "heart-warming meals".
"For retired seniors, the community is their 'home'. We have not only set up a 'canteen for the elderly', but also joined hands with the health service station to regularly organize free physical examination activities for the elderly, and at the same time built various activity rooms and fitness venues to improve service guarantees, create a '15-minute pension service life circle', and truly realize 'the elderly have care'. Wang Shanshan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dong'an Community, said.
Integrate forces to promote "old people have something to rely on"
The Dong'an Community of Xinglong Street has a large jurisdiction and many elderly people, focusing on caring for the empty nest elderly and implementing the "family companionship" for the purpose, creating a "family tree" volunteer service brand, integrating volunteer forces, and adopting methods such as analyzing registered information and conducting door-to-door surveys to sort out the number of special families such as empty nesters in need of help in the responsibility area, and classify and manage them according to the degree of difficulty.
Since Deng Fang, a community volunteer, and Li Suying, an empty nester, have been married to each other, they have insisted on calling every day to greet them, chatting with the elderly whenever they are free, doing laundry, cooking, and grocery shopping for the elderly, so that the elderly can always experience the warmth of "relatives" company. Since the establishment of the "Family Tree" volunteer service brand, 119 volunteers in the community have formed a "one-to-one" family pair with retired employees, and volunteer activities can be seen everywhere, with the active participation of community residents, effectively turning Dong'an Community into a "warm community" with harmonious neighborhoods.
In addition to tapping enthusiastic residents in the community to volunteer, Xinglong Street also pays attention to the integration of resources, unites schools, health service centers, social organizations, and businesses in the community, regularly carries out "public welfare markets", sets up volunteer service booths, and cooperates through various methods such as free clinics, voluntary haircuts, and public welfare maintenance, so as to serve the elderly residents in the jurisdiction, make the life of the silver age more convenient, and let the elderly truly grasp the "stable happiness".
Based on demand, so that "the old have learned"
In Dong'an Community, Xinglong Street, Kenli District, a unique class is underway, and the students sitting in the classroom are not ignorant children, but silver-haired old people. The teachers of the training course are volunteers from the Dong'an community, and they carefully set up courses, including comprehensive WeChat function teaching, living payment, production of Douyin, etc., and the classroom adopts the form of PPT teaching and face-to-face teaching, which greatly enhances the learning interest of the elderly, so that the elderly can feel the convenience of science and technology, and keep up with the pace of development of the times.
"Society is advancing, we can't be too far behind, through learning, I can now use WeChat chat, buy things to pay, take the bus to scan the QR code, and I can also video with my old friends, and now I have changed from a mobile phone 'rookie' to a 'talent'." Xin Shuqin, a resident of the community, said happily.
It is not only about "learning" science and technology, but also based on reality, Dong'an community grasps the needs of the elderly's families, and opens a series of public welfare courses such as reading for the old and the young, and family education knowledge classes for the next generation, so as to create a service atmosphere for the elderly with mutual assistance and common participation, and bring more positive and pleasant spiritual support to the elderly.
Give full play to the characteristics and help the elderly to do something
The wind is warm and the sun is soft, the green leaves are shady, and on the small square, Li Xin, the "old oil man", is one of the members of the oil field family story publicity group, telling everyone about the struggle of the older generation of oil people to go to the front line in extremely cold weather. "The vast Gobi, the cold wind is biting, and the cold has been accustomed to the oil people at that time, but the difficult environment still can't stop us oil people from putting all their enthusiasm into the construction of the oil field." Li Xinhe's sharing was sincere, which infected the young people around him and gave everyone a deeper understanding of the fine tradition of "hard work".
After Li Xinhe retired, he joined the story preaching studio of a family in the oil field established in Xinglong Street, and became a volunteer lecturer to explain the development history of Shengli Oilfield, the struggle experience of the old oilfield people and the unity story of the oilfield family members helping each other to young people. Warm people's hearts, gather people's hearts, and build unity with sincere service, so that the elderly can make a difference in their lives.
Enrich the supply and promote the enjoyment of the elderly

On the field, the elderly friends were in high spirits, showed their skills, played the game with great energy, and played "spirit" and "youth" in the activity. "It was fun, the intensity was suitable, and the most important thing was that we were all so happy to get together and have more opportunities to communicate. I had so much fun today, and I will participate in this event next time! Resident Yue Pingyuan said.
This is a microcosm of the elderly in Xinglong Street enjoying the "joy of old age" at their doorstep, and in Xinglong Street, more and more elderly people feel the fun brought by "cultural benefit" to their lives.
