Today's Yongzhou News (Jianghua Special Reporter Zhu Ting, Zhang Jian, Correspondent Gao Zhijian) With the deepening of the aging population and the change of family structure, meal assistance services have become the realistic needs and ardent expectations of many elderly people. In recent years, Jianghua has actively adopted demand-oriented measures to explore and innovate meal assistance service models according to local conditions, which has effectively alleviated the problem of inconvenience for the elderly.
Towards noon, the chefs in the kitchen of Huaya Wellness Center are carefully preparing a delicious lunch, preparing, stir-frying, and plating, every step is in order. The staff and volunteers brought out plates of dishes from the kitchen and delivered them to each of the elderly, the tempting aroma of the meal was overflowing, the old people who came to dine gathered together, talked and laughed, and the staff cordially asked the old people for their opinions and suggestions on the dishes, so as to continuously improve the service quality of the canteen and let the old people enjoy a more intimate dining experience.
"I'm 94 years old, and I ate steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, and noodles in the morning, and button pork at noon, as well as fried loofahs with tofu, cabbage, and egg soup. I don't have any teeth, but I can still eat most of the food, and the food tastes okay. The old man Chen Yuying told reporters.
"Taking into account the eating habits and personalized requirements of the elderly, the canteen tailors recipes for the elderly, and at the same time strengthens food safety supervision, and adopts standard kitchen requirements such as food traceability and compliance management to ensure food safety on the tip of the tongue." Zhu Yuansheng, vice president of Huaya Health Care Center, said.
In order to take care of the dining needs of the elderly who are inconvenient to travel or have long distances, social workers and volunteers participate in the meal delivery service and form a caring "rider" team, so that the elderly can enjoy the meal assistance service without leaving home.
Tang Yuying, an elderly person in the community, has difficulty moving, so she usually makes and eats casually, and occasionally asks relatives to buy vegetables. After hearing the social worker's introduction to the activity, he immediately made an appointment for his first meal. "It was delivered quite in time, in line with the appetite, and it was the same as cooking at home." Tang Yuying, an elderly man in the community, said happily.
With the continuous promotion and improvement of meal assistance services, more and more elderly people enjoy this convenience and warmth. The meal service not only solves their dining problems, but also makes them feel cared for and respected by the society.
