Our Autonomy collection, developed in close collaboration with healthcare professionals, offers innovative, ergonomic solutions to make mealtimes easier. By enhancing residents’ comfort and independence, we also help to lighten the workload of care teams. A major challenge for reception facilities Faced with the challenges posed by loss of autonomy, health and care professionals are confronted with a number of constraints during mealtimes. Innovative solutions exist to improve residents’ quality of life and facilitate the day-to-day work of our teams. The impact of adapted tableware: Testimonial from the L’Avé Maria family home Calmer meals for all. The L’Avé Maria family home shares its experience with adapted tableware: a valuable asset for the well-being of residents and the comfort of care teams. Héloïse psychomotricienne at Ave Maria In the past, we used to use conventional plate edges, which were not necessarily practical or aesthetically pleasing. Today, with the use of the Autonomy plate, we can observe a real change in the independence of elderly people during meals. Residents are more precise in their movements, thanks in particular to the larger yet attractive container. Plates designed for autonomy Autonomy plates feature ergonomic edges that make it easier to pick up food without excessive movements. Their optimized depth reduces fatigue and promotes greater autonomy. Why colored nets? Having plates with colored netting compensates in some way for visual difficulties and allows residents to visualize food better. This detail is essential to avoid mistakes and stimulate the appetite of residents. The Autonomy cup: ergonomic design for safety The lower part of the glass is very ergonomic and makes it easier to hold. On the contrary, the upper part of the glass, with a very wide mouthpiece, better encompasses the nose and thus avoids hyper-extension of the neck and thus ‘false routes’ explains the psychomotricist at the L’Avé Maria family home. Greater comfort for caregivers and residents Thanks to this innovative crockery, residents become more independent and rediscover the pleasure of eating on their own, reducing the mental burden on caregivers. The elderly are much more at ease during their meals and take more pleasure in eating on their own and are therefore less constrained by caregivers who, unconsciously, can generate stress.
