A plate guard is a simple, yet effective, dining aid to make eating easier. Ability Superstore's useful mobility aids are perfect for people with reduced mobility, grip, or dexterity who need, or prefer, to eat one-handed.
When eating one-handed, one of the difficulties is getting food onto your fork, or spoon, without frustration, as well as the risk that food may accidentally get pushed over the edge of the plate. This can make mealtimes difficult and affect your confidence and independence when eating.
The unobtrusive design of these plate guards, and the fact that they can be clipped onto any plate make them a subtle, discreet mobility aid that will make your life easier. They enable you to push food up against the side to get it onto your fork, or spoon.
A plate surround, or plate guard, also prevents food from falling off the side of your plate, so they help to keep your tabletop clean and tidy, too.
Plate surrounds are the perfect dining aid for people who would prefer to use their existing crockery, rather than replace their plates with adapted ones. Ability Superstore's plate surrounds, or guards, will blend in effortlessly to any dining environment without giving your plate a clinical look, or feel.
Using a plate surround promotes independence and helps individuals maintain their dignity during mealtimes. By providing a secure and defined space for eating, individuals can enjoy their meals with confidence, knowing that they have the support they need. Plate surrounds are particularly useful for those who may struggle with maintaining food on their utensils or who have difficulty managing hand-to-mouth movements.
Can plate surrounds be used with all types of plates?
Plate surrounds are designed to be versatile and compatible with a wide range of plate sizes and styles. However, it's essential to check the specific product details for compatibility with your preferred plates.
