Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Blue Tableware (set of 2) work?

The Blue Tableware set uses high contrast blue coloring to help individuals with dementia and visual impairments better identify their food and drinks. The stark color contrast between the blue dishes and most foods naturally draws attention and makes eating more intuitive, reducing the need for constant reminders to eat.

Q: What's included in the Blue Tableware set?

This eight-piece tableware set provides complete place settings for two people, making it perfect for shared meals. The set includes all essential dining pieces needed for a comfortable eating experience together.

Q: Who can benefit from using high contrast blue tableware?

The Blue Tableware is specifically designed for individuals with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, visual impairments, or anyone who struggles with appetite or eating awareness. It's also helpful for caregivers looking to encourage independent eating and reduce mealtime assistance.

Q: Why is blue color specifically chosen for adaptive tableware?

Blue creates the strongest visual contrast with most foods, which are typically warm colors (reds, yellows, browns). This high contrast helps the brain more easily distinguish between the plate and food, making eating more instinctive and less cognitively demanding.

Q: Is the Blue Tableware safe for daily use?

Yes, this adaptive tableware is designed for regular daily use and is made from safe, durable materials suitable for individuals with special dining needs. The dishes are practical for everyday meals while providing therapeutic benefits.

Q: How does high contrast tableware help with dementia care?

High contrast dishes work by stimulating visual recognition and reducing confusion during meals. The distinct blue color helps individuals with dementia focus on their food, often leading to improved appetite, better nutrition, and more independent eating habits.

Q: Can the Blue Tableware help increase food intake?

Studies have shown that high contrast dishes can significantly improve food and drink consumption for people with dementia. The visual stimulation helps maintain focus on eating and can reduce the common problem of forgetting to eat during meals.

Q: What makes this tableware different from regular dishes?

Unlike standard tableware, the Blue Tableware is specifically engineered with therapeutic color contrast in mind. It's part of adaptive dining solutions that address the unique challenges faced by individuals with cognitive impairments, making mealtime more successful and enjoyable.

Why we know this works!

The blue tableware is a great solution for those who prefer to have tableware that is not so bright, however, will still have a high contrast. The blue tableware is ideal for someone with dementia as it brings attention and focus to a bowl/plate of food or a mug of coffee that is placed in front of them. Having blue tableware is a way to use the environment to facilitate eating and will eliminate the need for a caregiver to constantly remind their loved one to eat their meal or drink their coffee. The blue tableware is also useful as the high contrast will allow someone with low vision to see where their plate ends which will decrease the number of times that food is pushed off a plate and onto the table due to not being able to distinguish between the edge of the plate and the table.
