Guangzhou, March 8, 2022 – Sodexo, the world leader in Quality of Life Services, held a signing ceremony with R&F Group to deepen their cooperation. Sodexo will provide quality and diverse catering services for R&F YI'AN, a senior care brand based in Guangzhou, to help R&F consolidate its leadership in the industry. This partnership is expected to set a new benchmark for elderly care services.
Senior care is identified as a key measure in China's 14th Five-Year Plan to cope with population aging in the country, as high-quality elderly care services are essential to boosting senior citizens' sense of gain, happiness and security.
R&F YI'AN, positioned as "a leading provider of quality health and senior care services", is committed to offering senior people a happy and fulfilling life. With a floor area of more than 70,000 square meters, R&F YI'AN-Guangzhou International Senior Care Community provides about 438 retirement apartments and 189 care beds. It aims to become a benchmark retirement home in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), which adopts a new senior care model featuring one-stop and full-lifecycle elderly care services.
As a global leader in catering and integrated facilities management of health and senior care agencies, Sodexo will provide a variety of catering solutions including set meals, buffets and à la carte menus for seniors, their families and staff at R&F YI'AN, through its catering service approach and standard healthy diet management system that are widely acknowledged across the globe.
In response to the dietary needs of the elderly, Sodexo nutritionists will design standard healthy diet menus and adjust them from time to time based on the results of senior health analysis and dishes popularity analysis. Diets will be provided for seniors according to doctor's advice as well as their nutritional needs, such as general, soft, liquid and semi-liquid diets, to help them stay healthy.
This partnership marks R&F Group's greater recognition of Sodexo, which is also a service provider for Guangzhou R&F International Hospital. With R&F YI'AN becoming one of its key projects in China, Sodexo has deepened its presence in the country's senior care sector.
Zhuang Qiming, Deputy General Manager of R&F Group & General Manager of R&F Healthcare Management Company, said, "R&F YI'AN has joined hands with Sodexo, a world-renowned catering service provider for the healthcare and senior care sector, to set a new benchmark for senior care, to provide high-quality catering solutions for our customers, and to become a brand-new first-rate senior care community in the GBA."
