Independence at home can be prolonged with technological aids. For clients who can self-administer medications but just cant remember when to take them, or if theyve already done so, medication dispensers like this can help. Ive used one with a client. These units are hooked to a phone line and programmed to beep - very loudly, assisting people who are hard of hearing - if the medication isnt removed from the dispenser. If it beeps for so long and the meds still arent removed, it will call a pre-programmed number. This can give families and guardians peace of mind that all is well at home. I recommend trying these for someone who just needs minimal reminders. If forgetting to take medications on schedule is the only issue, this unit can be a lot less expensive than hiring a private in-home companion caregiver, or can reduce the number of hours that caregiver is required. epill/medsmart.html?ref=lexity&_vs=google&_vm=productsearch&gclid=CJz5h5q2mMACFSsSMwodr18Acg
