Red Scoop Bowl for Alzheimer's

Using red tableware can help Alzheimer’s sufferers to consume more food and drink and avoid weight gain.

Studies have found that red tableware such as bowls, plates and cups helps people to recognise food against the plate compared to plain white, with results showing that when using a red plate 24% more food was eaten. This is important when statistics show that 40% of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s will experience severe weight loss due to their loss of interest in food.

This Red Scoop Bowl is a dementia aid that will help someone with Alzheimer’s recognise food and feel more comfortable eating. It is specially designed for use by those who may have limited movement in their arms and hands. One side is higher than the other so that the user can easily eat with one hand without spilling or pushing their food out of the bowl, and there is a suction-cup base to prevent the bowl from slipping or tipping.

The bowl measures 150mm in diameter and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
