Depending on the ailment, certain needs should be assessed. For example, if a person has shaking or is unsteady, weighted eating utensils maybe very helpful. If a person has dementia or memory issues, large, non-weighted utensils would be helpful for the patient.

These are the kinds of questions that should be asked of a medical professional. Speak to one about the specific needs and see if health insurance will cover the cost to get one of these tools.

When my mother-in-law lived with us and had dementia, bibs were essential, food would fall while she maneuvered the spoon from the plate to her mouth. We owned 4 of them as they rotated in and out of the laundry very fast.

My father couldn’t stand up, so he used the grabber to pick up what he dropped. He also loved diabetic socks because his lower legs would swell and other socks would cut off his circulation.

There are endless tools to purchase, so read the reviews carefully. Take note of the dates of the reviews as what was a great product 3 years ago, may have a different quality now.
