April 4th, 2010
While these lovely Dinnerware sets were designed specifically for use by people suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, they are also extremely helpful for the physically disabled. Because of the unique design and the ease of using any piece in the collection, it actually encourages eating and drinking which, in turn, promotes better nutrition and hydration. We are delighted to offer products that are designed to maintain independence and restore dignity.
The ceramic is made from Vitrified Earthenware with added Alumina for extra strength. It can be used in dishwashers, microwaves and freezer. Developed by Wade Ceramic’s own design studio after extensive research including the work carried out by the world renowned Stirling Dementia Services Development Centre.
June Andrews, Director at Stirling says: “Eating and drinking is very important in dementia. For all of us, the whole experience is crucial, not just the right food at the right temperature at the right time, but we are affected by the ambience of the room and the company we are with. Not least the table settings are crucial. Having attractive crockery and cutlery can make a big difference to our appetite and how we enjoy our food. People with dementia sometimes have special requirements. They need colored plates that allow them to see what they are eating and the plates need to be easy to use with rims to help scooping and lifting of food.
Cups need to have big enough handles for two fingers to slip through. If it is not a picnic, there should be no plastic. At the Dementia Services Development Centre we are always interested in new ideas and the display of crockery shows a range of the best we have seen so far”.

At last! Dinnerware for the little “diners” at my house! The two handles are perfect for the kids who insist they are too grown up for sippy cups, but they still are a little wobbly. Thank you!!!!

I feel the dishes are too heavy for use by disabled individuals. However, they are unique and attractive.
