Occupational therapy

Intelligent solutions for occupational therapists

OTs have a lot of responsibilities with their patients: They are carrying out assessments on patients to ensure they receive the appropriate care they need. Moreover occupational therapists offer rehabilitation programmes to help rebuild lost skills and restore confidence. This is why OTs make a contribution to a patient’s wellbeing – physically and mentally.

Essential helpers for OT aids

Especially for occupational therapy useful tableware such as eating and drinking aids are real daily living aids. Common crockery made of porcelain or ceramic does not support people living with a disability or disease such as dysphagia or Parkinson’s. Moreover most of the available aids have been on the market for over 30 years and have not been developed further.

Occupational therapy equipment has to be practical to help people regain their self-esteem. Functional and innovative disability aids support the important work of occupational therapists so that disabled people can eat and drink independently again.

Tableware with hidden features

The majority of our day guests exhibits signs of dementia, both physically and mentally. The tableware range with supportive features by ORNAMIN enables everyone to eat independently. In addition, our day guests have chosen to drink more often since we started using the red cups by ORNAMIN. This is a huge advantage because the desire to drink often declines in old age. This is why I would be happy to recommend ORNAMIN tableware to our guests‘ families for use at home.
