Practical advice on adaptive plates for elderly, adaptive cutlery, and other eating aids to support independence
In this video, we demonstrate a range of adaptive eating aids designed to make mealtimes easier, safer, and more enjoyable. From plate guards and anti-slip mats to thermal plates and suction bowls, these tools can help reduce spills, maintain food temperature, and make eating more manageable for people with reduced mobility, visual impairments, or dementia.
These aids are particularly helpful for those who are one-handed, experience difficulties with grip, or need extra stability when eating. Choosing the right adaptive utensils or cups can promote dignity, confidence, and independence at mealtimes.
What you will learn in the video
✔️ How adaptive plates and plate guards prevent spills and support one-handed eating
✔️ Why anti-slip mats and suction bowls improve stability and safety
✔️ The benefits of thermal plates for slower eaters
✔️ How colour-contrasted plates and bowls support those with dementia or visual impairment
✔️ Extra eating aids such as jar openers and adaptive cutlery to make meals easier
