On the 3rd, Dean Li of Tainan Hospital, Director Xiao Shuru of Social Service Office, Director Li of Central and Western District Office, Chief Zheng Queyan of Yintong Lane, and * * * went to deliver meals and care services to the elderly living alone. The lunch box was carefully designed and prepared by Cai Peifen, head of the Nutrition Department of Tainan Hospital, to meet the nutritional needs of individual elderly people.
Xiao Shuru, director of the Social Service Institute, said that the elderly population in Taiwan Province Province is increasing gradually, and the elderly living alone have become the weak among the weak, which is easily ignored by the society and lacks care. Most elderly people who live alone suffer from chronic diseases or lack of teeth, can't enjoy food, and are prone to malnutrition.
Therefore, diet planning mainly considers whether the elderly are vegetarian, low in calories, or have different dietary needs due to the deterioration of chewing function during aging. In addition to this food delivery service, nutritionists also plan the diet of the elderly to maintain a healthy diet and improve the nutritional problems of the elderly living alone.
At the first stop, Dean Li personally sent the nutritionist's special "soft food lunch box" and gifts to the centenarian's home for care. Chat with the old gentleman and care about the daily life of the elders. 103-year-old Mr. Lin dressed up specially and waited at home. I'm glad to see many people care.
Another old lady, Mrs. Chen Wu, lived alone after her husband and daughter died one after another. Although I can take care of myself, the nutrition room of the hospital has specially prepared "liquid food" and prepared carnations and small gifts for the old lady to celebrate Mother's Day in advance. The old lady was very moved and said, "It's been a long time since the family was so busy. 」
According to the social service room of Tainan Hospital, there are currently more than 30 elderly people living alone in Yintongli, Central and Western District. This meal delivery service targets more than 0 elderly people in Yintongli/KLOC-0. In the pilot phase, lunch delivery service will be provided every week/kloc-0 to Friday, and volunteers in Yintongli will help distribute it to elderly people living alone in Yintongli. After reassessing the situation of caring for food delivery, the hospital will plan to take care of more vulnerable groups. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can participate together, so that the elderly living alone can get more social care and help.
