Clear shapes and contrasts

INNOVATIVE DEMENTIA TABLEWARE

The functional crockery in the red series helps people living with dementia to eat and drink independently.

Independent eating and drinking with dementia

The red series of ORNAMIN

Often the eating and drinking habits of people living with dementia change: they have less hunger and thirst and no longer understand the need of eating and drinking. The clear shapes and colour contrasts of ORNAMIN’s functional tableware help to perceive food and drinks more easily and better. The color red plays an important role regarding dementia because it stimulates the appetite, provides orientation and is the color that dementia patients can still recognise for a long time.

Aids for people living with dementia

Orientation & security

Recognisable patterns – also regarding eating and drinking habits – help people with behavioural changes related to dementia to orientate themselves in everyday life. If those affected help with the preparation of food and cut fruit and vegetables, for example, they have a greater incentive to eat by themselves and like to snack something in between. Overall, the tableware by ORNAMIN in red has a positive influence on the eating and drinking behaviour of dementia patients.

ORNAMIN Dementia Tableware

The tableware by ORNAMIN in the colour red has a positive impact on the eating and drinking behaviour of people living with dementia.

ORNAMIN Mug with Internal Cone

The Mug with Internal Cone facilitates emptying the mug due to its conically shaped internal mug. It is intuitively useable, the ergonomic handle offers firm hold and the integrated thermal function keeps hot beverages warm for longer.

ORNAMIN Plate with Sloped Base

Due to the sloped base and discreet overhang the food gets easier onto the spoon or fork. A non-slip ring under the base provides for a firm stand. The plates are dishwasher safe and available in three sizes.

ORNAMIN Non-Slip Board

The Non-Slip Board is one-handed useable. A rim with raised edges on three sides offers stable stand, a non-slip ring under the base prevents a slice of bread from slipping.

My grandmother has advanced dementia and eating independently has long been difficult for her. Then we discovered the plates with the sloped base by ORNAMIN and ever since, my grandmother has been able to eat her much-loved stews and soups again by herself.

Daniela Bugla, relative

The majority of our day guests exhibits signs of dementia, both physically and mentally. The tableware range with supportive features by ORNAMIN enables everyone to eat independently. In addition, our day guests have chosen to drink more often since we started using the red cups by ORNAMIN. This is a huge advantage because the desire to drink often declines in old age. This is why I would be happy to recommend the tableware by ORNAMIN to our guests‘ families for use at home.
