These are some simple-to-follow Kitchen tips from the Alzheimers Society publication 'Making your home Dementia Friendly'.
Practical tips
■ Make sure the items you use every day are easy to find.
■ Use brightly coloured cloths, towels and kitchen rolls that contrast with surfaces and appliances.
■ Ensure that appliances such as kettles can be seen and are easy to use.
■ Use coloured crockery that contrasts with the food you are going to eat, as well as the table or tablecloth.
Further suggestions
■ Use clear plastic containers to store food so that you can see what is inside.
■ If you need to replace equipment or appliances, like a kettle, try and make sure they’re the same design or model as the old one, so you can remember how to use them.
