A common problem for people with Alzheimer's is a lack of interest in food - as many as 40% of Alzheimer's patients experience severe weight loss. Recent clinical studies have shown that eating from red tableware can increase food intake by as much as 25% in Alzheimer's sufferers.
The Red Scoop Plate is designed with the user in mind. The raised edge makes it easier to eat one-handed without spilling or pushing food off the plate, and the suction base means that it won't slip around on the table. This design makes eating easier and more pleasurable, which, when combined with the red colouring, can really improve interest in food and help sufferers of Alzheimer's to enjoy food again. The plate measures 23.5cm in diameter and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
