Provale Regulating Drinking Cup - Single - 5cc

Product Information

A person may display a poor appetite, but underlying this might be depression, difficulty communicating, pain and/or tiredness. In later stages of dementia a person may not recognise food and drink. Concentration may also be poor. Keeping eating times regular, simple, calm and familiar might help.

The manufacturers say that their snorkel design can effectively help to regulate the flow of water and other liquids into the mouth of its users. This may be a lid with a closable aperture, or a lid with a straw which fits tightly enough to prevent liquid escaping.

They say that picture shrunk in the dishwasher and breaks too easily- so not a recommended option if you were looking for a regulated drinking cup.

It features a one-piece lid, a drinking spout, and it’s easy to assemble and disassemble it. The wedge mug is also dishwasher safe, and it’s made in the USA. You may be provided with equipment and services as a preventative measure, before a needs assessment is done. If, on assessment, your needs are high enough to qualify for help from the local authority, they will then look at your income and savings to see whether you will need to pay towards any future services you receive. These services might include disability equipment including alarms or telecare, adaptations to your home, help from a carer, or the delivery of meals or residential care.Eating and drinking both involve many different decisions, actions and movements. They are complex activities and can be disrupted in many ways. For anyone, whether able bodied or not, it is best to be sitting upright in a well-supported position. You should be sat close to the table or tray, which should be roughly at the height of your elbow. This means that the table can be used to support your forearms if required. The range is diverse, reflecting the differences between conditions and the physical restrictions they may impose on people living with them. This transparent cup with snorkel lid offered by Rolyn Prest is uniquely designed, well-made and safe to use. Users love the price and the shape of the mug, but some do note that it’s plastic. This dysphagia cup is made of polypropylene, and it has a snorkel lid that allows you to regulate the flow of the liquids. In addition, it is designed for people suffering from poor grip strength, deformities, wrist pain and tremors.
