Adaptive Redware helps increase appetites for those with Alzheimers, dementia and low vision
Because red is believed to be a color that stimulates, excites and increases the appetite, the makers of Redware Dinnerware designed their dinnerware to stimulate food and liquid intake in users with Alzheimer's and dementia.
People with Alzheimer's and dementia appetite decreases during their experience with these diseases which can lead to other health problems.
High contrast, bright dishes and cups increase food and drink consumption
In the search for a cause and cure, researchers discovered the amounts increased as much as 24% in food and 84% in fluids when served on colorful, easy to see dinnerware to Alzheimer's and dementia patients.
Redware is also recommended for individuals recovering from a stroke, living with Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, depression and denture users.
Loss of appetite is associated with each of these conditions due to difficulty swallowing, difficulty controlling eating utensils, properly fitting dentures and simply a lost of interested in eating. Serving food on Redware will draw them to the table and motivate them to eat.
The Redware Dinnerware Set is designed with just the right amount of red to attract the patients and to help them distinguish between the dinnerware and the food or drink.
The 6-piece Redwared Dinnerware set includes:
- Deep Partitioned plate w/ lid
- Inner lip plate
- Drinking cup
- Fork w/ built up handle
- Spoon w/ built up handle
Additional Benefits of Redware Dinner plates and Cups
Some of the pieces of this functional Redware Set offer an additional aid to its user. The Deep Partitioned plate with lid keeps the food separated and conveniently stores leftovers; the inner lip plate's raised edge prevents food from falling off the plate and help push the food onto the patient's eating utensil; and the built-up handles on the fork and spoon allows for easy grasping.
Redwared Dinnerware is made from a lightweight but dense plastic. All items are dishwasher and microwave safe.
