Why we know this works!

The Meal Lifter® is a thoughtfully engineered dining aid that enhances the mealtime experience for individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, muscular dystrophy, or other conditions affecting mobility and motor skills. By raising the dinner plate, the individual can pivot on their elbow from plate-to-mouth rather than lifting their arm; reducing the amount of food that may otherwise fall off the utensil. This unique device promotes independence and dignity without compromising style or function. The device has also proven to reduce the need for caregiver assistance during mealtimes. In addition to the Meal Lifter®, the set includes a 9" round white ceramic dinner plate designed to fit the Meal Lifter® perfectly. Also included is a 16" x 12" white silicone placemat that prevents the Meal Lifter® from sliding on the table surface, while providing added stability and confidence during meals. Whether in a home setting or a care facility, The Meal Lifter® is a subtle yet powerful tool that supports individuals facing progressive or chronic movement impairments. Its elegant, non-medical look allows users to feel comfortable at any dining table, helping to make mealtimes safer, easier, and more enjoyable.
