Why we know this works!
We love this red tableware because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch meals go back to the kitchen barely touched, not because appetite is gone but because the food never caught the person's eye. Do red plates really help people with dementia eat more? Yes: research found people with dementia ate about 24 percent more food and drank 84 percent more when served on high contrast red dishes, because the bold color pulls attention to the plate and cuts down on constant reminders to keep eating. The ceramic set covers two full place settings and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
It is especially useful for people with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, and the strong contrast also helps someone with low vision find the edge of the plate. If bright red feels too loud for your table, or you serve a lot of red foods like tomato sauce that would blend in, choose the Blue Tableware set instead.
