For many elderly people who are frail, sick, living alone, and have limited mobility, "difficulty buying vegetables and cooking" is a major problem affecting their quality of life and happiness index. How to solve the problem of eating for the elderly? Let's go see it together!
Recently, the reporter learned that in order to focus on solving the problem of daily meal difficulties for the elderly with high density, living alone, and purely old families, and the elderly with difficulties in living on their own, this year, in accordance with the deployment of the municipal party committee and municipal government, the city has carried out activities in many places. A pilot program of "respecting the old dining table" was launched. Among them, the Jizhou District "Elderly Dining Table" project is divided into two sub-projects: "Community Respecting Elderly Dining Table" and "Visit + Home Delivery".
minimum 3 yuan to enjoy the nutrition package
"The taste of this meal is really good, clean and hygienic, you don't need to do it yourself, just sit down and wait for the catering staff to bring it to the table." Jin Guangshou and his wife Peng An'an went downstairs and went out as usual, and in less than 3 minutes they went to Gaofengpo Community, Yongshu Street, Jizhou District, to enjoy Chinese food. Jin Guangshou told reporters that after the "respectful dining table" was opened, he and his wife have been eating here. Not only is the food here delicious, the service is also attentive, and more importantly, with government subsidies, he and his wife have two meals a day on average. The meal cost is about 20 yuan, which is particularly cost-effective. "The nutrition package allows us to eat well, and it also reduces the burden on the children to deliver meals every day. It's really good!" Peng Anan said with a smile on his face. The feelings of the old couple also represent the aspirations of many elderly people who have dinner at the "respected old table".
You can enjoy a nutrition package for the elderly with two meats, two vegetarians, one soup, and one staple food for 5 yuan at the "Prestige Table". What is the quality and taste of this package? With doubts, the reporter walked into the "dining table for the elderly" in Gaofengpo community. At 11 noon, it was lunch time. The reporter saw the elderly who came to dine in the restaurant one after another. After sitting down, the catering staff brought the day's set meal for the elderly, which looked very good. Chen Hongxia, secretary of the community party committee, explained to reporters: “The elderly diners have a household registration in our community and provide centralized dining services in the community at noon and evening. Each meal is 10 yuan per person, and diners aged 70 to 75 pay 5 yuan by themselves and government subsidies 5 yuan; The diners aged between 76 and 80 pay 4 yuan and the government subsidizes 6 yuan; diners over 80 years old pay 3 yuan and the government subsidizes 7 yuan. Taking into account the poor digestive system of the teeth of the elderly, these meals are very soft , The dishes are relatively light."
"home delivery" service and thoughtful service
How can the elderly or the elderly with limited mobility eat? The "Visit + Door-to-door" project allows the elderly to eat fresh and warm meals even at home.
It is understood that, in accordance with the principle of highlighting publicity and public welfare, doing according to one’s ability and doing one’s best, the centenarians who have urban household registration in Jizhou District and whose permanent address is the central area of Jizhou District; the urban minimum living allowance targets and the urban scattered and poor support Among the staff, the elderly who are over 80 years old; the disabled and semi-disabled elderly people who are over 60 years old among the scattered and extremely poor support staff (red card households) in the city are the service objects, providing mid-night and late-night meal delivery services. The meal standard is "two meats, two vegetables and one soup", each meal is 10 yuan/person, and the delivery cost is 3 yuan/serving, all of which are subsidized by the government. In the form of home delivery, it solves the problem of eating at home for some financially difficult elderly, disabled and semi-disabled elderly, and elderly people with mobility impairments.
A meal is nutritious and delicious. In addition to the meal, it shows more care for the elderly. At present, 5 communities in Jizhou District (Taipingqiao Community of Gunan Town Street, Gaofengpo Community of Yongshu Street, Xiyuan Community of Wenshan Street, Book Street Community of Xixiqiao Street, and Mapuqian Community of Beimen Street) have officially opened for dinner , More than 100 elderly people ate meals, and more than 50 destitute households accepted home delivery.
In addition, the reporter learned that the city has 850,000 registered elderly people, accounting for 16.03% of the total population. According to incomplete statistics, the proportion of empty-nest and left-behind elderly in the city is nearly 50%. At present, Jinggangshan City, Ji'an County, Yongfeng County, and Anfu County have successively launched pilot projects for "respecting the elderly dining table". The elderly enjoy the benefits of this service, and feel the true love of the society while eating well.
