Why we know this works!

Red tableware has been clinically proven to increase the amount of food eaten by 24% and the amount of drink comsumed by 84% for those with dementia. It brings attention and focus to the bowl/plate of food or a mug of coffee that is placed in front of them. Having red tableware is a way to use the environment to facilitate eating and will decrease the need for a caregiver to constantly remind their loved one to finish their meal or drink their coffee. The red tableware is also useful as a high contrast for someone with low vision. 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.
