DEMENTIA TABLEWARE
Sustainably independent - the red series for dementia patients
INDEPENDENT EATING AIDS
Dementia-related changes often affect appetite and food intake: When physical and mental abilities decline, eating becomes a burden for those affected. In addition, classic care dishes are often very conspicuous and lead to refusal to eat. Unobtrusive intuitive aids significantly increase the acceptance of those affected and raise their self-esteem so that they can participate in meals independently and normally. Appealing design, clear shapes and distinct colour contrasts play a decisive role in cases of declining eyesight. Because it is precisely then that colour contrasts at the dining table are particularly important. For example, a plate with a wide coloured rim provides orientation. Especially for people with dementia, red is an important colour, because it is still perceived very well in old age and stimulates the appetite.
INDEPENDENT DRINKING AIDS
People with dementia often refrain from drinking regularly, which can have many reasons. Drinking from the usually offered sippy cup is unfamiliar and very dangerous, especially with hot drinks, which leads to insecurity and rejection. Distorted colours of the drinks due to coloured cups make dementia patients sceptical. Problems caused by physical impairments such as impaired vision or motor impairments make people feel helpless and increase their lack of independence.
However, drinking is very important and should be encouraged in any case. High-contrast colours - red is recommended for dementia - support orientation at the table. White inner cups ensure unadulterated drink colours. Large handles and internal cone cups support those with physical impairments. This makes drinking possible again without stigmatisation.
DEMENTIA TABLEWARE – SUPPORT INDEPENDENT EATING AND DRINKING
Dementia can affect perception, orientation and motor skills, making everyday activities such as eating and drinking increasingly difficult. Specially designed dementia tableware helps people maintain independence for as long as possible – at home, in care settings or in hospitals.
THE RED RANGE – IMPROVED ORIENTATION THROUGH COLOUR
The “red range” has been specifically developed for people with dementia. Strong red colour contrasts make food easier to recognise and support visual orientation on the plate. Research shows that warm, high-contrast colours can increase attention and stimulate appetite – an important factor in maintaining adequate nutrition.
DISCREET DESIGN WITHOUT STIGMA
Supportive features are cleverly integrated into the design and are not immediately visible. This creates a familiar dining experience without highlighting the use of assistive products. At the same time, the functional details make eating and drinking easier and more intuitive.
SUPPORTING INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE
Being able to eat and drink independently helps maintain confidence and improves quality of life. Dementia tableware supports existing abilities and encourages active participation in everyday life.
IDEAL FOR CARE SETTINGS AND HOME USE
Whether in care homes, hospitals, day care centres or private households, dementia tableware is designed for daily use. It supports caregivers, reduces workload and helps create a more structured and supportive environment.
