MEDICATION REMINDERS ideas

Perhaps your loved one now needs assistance for taking their medications. Different strategies can be utilized depending on why assistance is now needed.

For example, a loved one may have difficulty opening pill containers due to limited dexterity. Perhaps your loved one's memory or attention span is not as good as it once was, and they become easily distracted and now need reminders. It is possible to have a combination of both situations. It may be helpful to have your provider refer your loved one to an Occupational Therapist to identify the root problem, whether at home with Home Health or Outpatient services (in the United States).
