Uncle Gao, who is located in the Tahiti community of Huishan Street and the community, expressed his love for the elderly meal in the community canteen, thinking that this place is very close to his home, and the couple can easily come here to eat if they don't want to cook, and they can enjoy hot meals at the door of their home. He praised the service point again and again, saying that the comprehensive health care services provided here are very convenient, not only providing meal assistance services, but also bathing assistance, medical treatment and life care services. This move aims to promote the development of community home care services for the elderly and provide comprehensive elderly care services for the elderly. In the morning, the sun shines on the clean and tidy tables and chairs of the "Renhe Community Canteen", and a steaming breakfast is served. An old man complimented: "It's better than eating at home." "The elderly sat together, enjoyed the food, and chatted at the same time, and the happy scene showed the community's care and service to the elderly. An Uncle Lang, who is over 70 years old, said that in the past, he had to take care of his wife and go grocery shopping to cook, but now he can enjoy discounted, healthy and delicious meals, and he feels very happy.

Steamed pork ribs with soy sauce, sauerkraut powder, steamed eggs with meat foam, roasted tofu with pumpkin and meat foam, beef and radish soup, cabbage tofu soup ......At lunchtime, the elderly in the community wafted the aroma of food, and under the guidance of the staff and volunteers, the elderly lined up in an orderly manner to eat, and then sat around a table to enjoy lunch while sharing interesting life stories with friends, and laughter and laughter were endless. An elderly man who came to eat said that the children all went to work, and he was the only one at home at noon, who was nearly 80 years old, and the use of fire and gas made the children worried. The meals provided by the community canteen are rich in variety, sufficient in portions, soft in taste, very suitable for the elderly, and the dishes are rich in vegetables, meat and vegetables, which are very in line with the standard of nutrition and health. Recently, in order to solve the problem of "difficulty in eating" faced by the elderly, lonely people and people living alone, people and communities have actively played the role of community social organizations and volunteer service teams, and comprehensively established a responsibility system for the elderly with special difficulties to deliver meals to the elderly. This initiative provided home delivery services for 15 elderly people with reduced mobility, effectively meeting the needs of the elderly in need for meal assistance services.

Wang Chunping, Secretary of the Party Committee of Renhe Community, said that the community canteen will adhere to the standards of low fat, low oil and low sugar, strictly control the quality of food procurement, continue to implement pragmatic measures, and further promote the action of meal assistance services for the elderly, so that the elderly can "warm their stomachs" and "warm their hearts" at the same time. He strives to create "happiness on the tip of the tongue" for the elderly, warming people's hearts through delicious food and enhancing residents' sense of gain, happiness and security. This initiative has been widely praised and supported. In the past, a volunteer service team was set up in the community to help the elderly who were struggling to stay at home, which received a positive response from the community residents. In another incident, an elderly man was unable to go out to buy daily necessities for a long time due to his limited mobility, and later community volunteers took the initiative to buy daily necessities for him and visited him regularly, which was grateful to the elderly and his family. In a third similar incident, the local community introduced a meal delivery service to provide free meal delivery services for the elderly at home, greatly facilitating those who are unable to take care of themselves. In response to this incident, netizens have expressed their support and recognition.

One netizen praised the community's approach as "warm and touching, allowing people to see the warmth of society", another netizen said that "this kind of caring behavior needs more publicity and support", and another netizen said "I hope that more communities can follow this initiative and let more elderly people in need receive care". This initiative not only solves the problem of "difficulty in eating" for the elderly with special difficulties, but also strengthens the welfare of the elderly at the community level and improves the happiness and sense of gain of community residents. Through such measures, more people have seen the warmth and love of the society, formed positive social energy, and driven more volunteers and social organizations to participate in the action of caring for the elderly.
