Safe Swallowing Cups

Safe Swallowing Cups include special drinking aids that are designed to allow caregivers to control the amount of liquid that is released. Loved ones with Dysphagia or dementia who are at increased risk for choking may benefit from these cups designed to promote safe swallowing. These specialty cups may allow the user to receive only a fixed amount of liquid, or allow the caregiver to adjust the amount of liquid that is released. A cup with a lid that has a button allows caregivers to release the drink only when the button is pressed. Cut-out or angled cups, also called nosey cups, allow a person to drink without having to tilt their head back, so they keep their chin lowered in the ideal position for swallowing safely.
