My grandfather is taking care of dispensing the medication for my grandmother, but I think this would be one less thing for him to worry about (and remember) when they''re home together during the day. Any recommendations on a reliable brand that is easy to use? Thanks!
I bought this one for my mom. And, it has been a life saver!!
amazon/Medcenter-Talking-Alarm-Medication-Reminder
It is awesome!! It talks when pills are ready, says please press the button to dispense, when she removes meds it says "thank you, please drink extra fluids",
(options other than fluids). If mom doesn't take meds from the machine, in an hour it calls me, if her electric goes off, it calls me. The only way she can mess up is to take meds from the dispenser and then not take them. People occasionally think they are taking too much medicine and want to stop all meds. I usually see the little cups and we have a talk about how only the doctor can say you can stop your meds. I thank God I searched till I found this machine.
It cost me $99 for set up and instruction, and $50.01 a month on my Visa. I can call that same number 24/7 for help or a problem. (for instance, I asked them how to "purge" the machine and start over with an empty machine). I fill little plastic cups and put lids on and then insert two at a time as the machine instructs me to. (and then pray that mom takes them when they dispense.). I'm there every other day or so to take her things and to make sure she has what she needs. The cups and covers are free, I can order anytime when I start getting low. It's worth every penny to not worry as I did before.
