The Redware Dishes for Alzheimer's include bright red plates, cups, and utensils. Why red? Studies show Alzheimer patients increase food intake by 24% and liquid by 84% when using dinnerware with vivid colors, such as these red dishes.
The Redware Dishes for Alzheimer's are designed to aid caregivers in encouraging dining independence. People who have Alzheimer's disease experience impairments not only in their cognitive abilities but also in their physiological status. Approximately 40% of Alzheimer's patients experience significant weight loss. This weight loss may be due to many different factors but a study out of Boston University suggests that significant weight loss is due in part to the loss of the ability to distinguish contrast between colors.
People with Alzheimer's are not able to distinguish light-colored food and drink on typically light-colored tableware. When using tableware that offered a high contrast to the food and drink (i.e.: bright red and bright blue), researchers noticed that the participants in the study increased their food intake by 24% and liquid intake by 84%.
The Redware Dishes for Alzheimer's Patients are available in a Basic 4-piece set or Deluxe 6-piece set. Redware Dishes for Alzheimer's Basic Set includes a Red Scooper Dish with a nonskid base, a Red Cup, a Red built-up handle fork and spoon.
