Why we know this works!
We love this blue tableware because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we hear caregivers repeat "take another bite" a dozen times before a meal is finished. Does the plate have to be red to help someone with dementia eat? No, it is the contrast that does the work, and blue stands out sharply against most foods, which tend to be whites, browns, and yellows, while feeling calmer than bright red. The bold color draws attention to the food so eating happens with fewer prompts, and the eight piece stoneware set covers two place settings and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
It suits people with dementia, and the contrast helps someone with low vision see where the plate ends so less food gets pushed onto the table. Skip blue if the person mostly eats dark foods that would disappear against it; in that case the Red Tableware for Dementia set gives stronger contrast.
