Putting 'food' in the hearts of the elderly

2023-05-22   

Zibo has become popular again due to the "food" issue. However, this time, it's not barbecue that has attracted fans, but the 'Elderly Canteen'. The 'Elderly Canteen' specializes in providing convenient dining services for the elderly, and the local government provides financial support to eligible meal assistance recipients. For example, elderly people aged 60 to 69 only need to pay two yuan per meal, elderly people aged 70 to 79 only need one yuan per meal, and elderly people over 80 are free. In the face of the deepening reality of aging, the emergence of "elderly cafeterias" has effectively solved the dining problems of the elderly, allowing them to "eat without worry", and to some extent, alleviated the pressure of children taking care of the elderly, reducing some "worries" in work. In fact, apart from Zibo, many places in the country have "senior cafeterias". Based on practical experience in various regions, it is necessary to leverage the joint efforts of the government, society, and the market to effectively manage the "elderly cafeteria" as a public welfare activity in the long term. In this process, on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen standardized management and supporting regulatory measures to ensure that the elderly eat with peace of mind and comfort; On the other hand, it is necessary to solve the problem of sustainable operation and ensure that the "Elderly Canteen" operates effectively on a healthy track that balances public welfare and self development. Based on the needs of the elderly, Fuzhou has extended various classrooms such as anti fraud, electricity safety, smartphone usage, as well as various functions such as free clinics, calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and flower art teaching. The diversified "elderly cafeteria+" also further enhances the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the elderly. The concept of 'being old and being old' is a shared expectation of the whole society, which includes providing for, enjoying, and relying on the elderly. To ensure that the 'food' of the elderly today is done effectively, effectively, and for a long time, and to respond to their practical needs and beautiful expectations for elderly care, that is, to safeguard the tomorrow of each and every one of us.
