Scooping the last of a meal off a flat plate takes a second hand, and that is exactly what many clients do not have. This food guard clips onto the rim of a round plate and gives a raised edge to push against, so food is loaded onto the fork or spoon and stays on the plate.
It is made from electro polished stainless steel, so it wipes down, sits well on a dining table and does not look like a piece of medical equipment. The small size suits side plates and smaller dinner plates, and it travels easily between home, day program and respite.
Worth trying for clients with hemiplegia, tremor, low vision or limited grip who want to keep feeding themselves without a carer stepping in.
