坡申村日间照料中心于2018年建成，占地面积240平方米。由于投入使用时间较长，部分设施出现老 化，今年进行了全面翻新改造，不仅增设了棋牌室、乒乓球室等活动场所，还将一侧的闲置篮球场改建 为菜园。今年9月20日，中心"老年灶"重新投入运营，每天上午9点供应早餐，下午3点提供午餐，目前 为25名老人提供固定就餐服务。 坡申村并不是当地群众公认的富裕村，集体经济收入有限，无力对"老年灶"实行长时期补贴。其日间照 料中心之所以持续运营，有赖于自我管理、自我监督的"自助"模式，从而实现运营成本最小化。在"老 年灶"吃饭的李王师不仅担任厨师，还负责食材采购，既能贴合老年人口味，又节约了人力成本。之前 聘请专业厨师每月需1500元，现在只需1000元出头。村原党支部书记班古太义务负责"老年灶"管理运 行，他号召力强，将一切安排得井井有条，又为中心节省了每月400元的管理支出。甚至，这里的环境 卫生工作也无需外聘人员——10位身体比较健康的80岁以下的老人分组排班，两人一组，每周轮流负责 保洁。这种共建共享的模式，使"老年灶"得以低成本可持续运行。 "哒哒哒……"11月28日中午，闻喜县河底镇坡申村日间照料中心的厨房里，7 ...
