The Portable My Plate-Mate Acts as Both a Spill Guard & Assistive Device for Eating
INSIDER TIP: The My Plate-Mate spill guard is an inexpensive solution for diners who need extra assistance.
 Mealtime can—and should be—one of the most rewarding times of the day; it can be a family gathering, an opportunity for a socializing and, of course, time to enjoy some delicious food. Despite its everyday place in our lives, eating can quickly become a frustrating task for seniors with any number of regular age-related concerns, from macular degeneration, stroke, Parkinson's Disease to limited mobility.
My Plate-Mate is a simple product that attaches to the side of any 8"-11" plate, providing a lip that stops food from going off the plate and onto the table—and only costs $10. In addition to decreasing mess, it also alleviates frustration by providing a firm surface to push food onto utensils and even makes one-handed eating a possibility. Since it's portable and can be easily carried in a purse or bag, My Plate-Mate can be used at a restaurant or at home.
My Plate-Mate can also be very helpful for caregivers. It allows seniors to maintain their independence and dignity at mealtime by eliminating the need for full-time eating assistance, allowing caregivers to attend to other tasks and focus on social needs.
My Plate-Mate is dishwasher safe, easy to transport and comes in either a white and beige color. The company also supplies an extra firm version that is only available in white. Discounts are available for bulk orders.
