For Mom
By A. Short
We purchased the MedReady for my 81 year old Mom who lives alone and wants to stay independently living for as long as possible. She had begun having days when she was confused and not sure if she had taken her pills or not. We first tried the plastic pill containers with Sunday through Saturday on them, but she became confused then over what day it was and which 'S' was for which day and which 'T' was for which day as well. Then she began needing pills morning and evening. The MedReady dispenser has been a life saver. It is set now so that she gets her morning, afternoon and evening pills without me having to drive 20 miles round trip to make sure Mom is taking the right pills or calling her to remind her that it's time to take some more medications.The only challenges we had with it at first was making sure that Mom pushed the 'door' open far enough to reset the spring mechanism that turns off the alarm and sets it for the next turn of the pill tray. It's not difficult to push the door open and takes no strength to do so, you just have to push it up far enough. Once Mom got that down though, she loved it and even told us that she is very happy with her 'pill thingy' :) It's not so loud that the neighbors hear it, but it is loud enough to get her attention no matter where she is in the house. If you or your parents are forgetting when to take their meds, this will certainly aid in that!!

It is a life saver
By A. Massaad
This product has made a huge difference in keeping our mother safe from overdosing on her medications. She now takes her meds as scheduled and does not have to worry whether she missed some or not. The instruction sheets were writtten in clear and simple language. Regrettably for Canadian residents they cannot buy this product nor can they buy any other brand. Drug stores and health care outlets don't carry it and most concerning - they don't know such a device exists.MAJOR SETBACK: PRODUCT COST. $150- $200 IS WAY TOO STEEP FOR MANY SENIORS ON A BUDGET.

By Susan M. Starkey
My father mentioned he forgets when he's taken his medication. Later, I learned he over-dosed, causing internal bleeding. I realized over or under-dosing was a life or death situation for my father, who is on several medications. I purchased this automatic pill dispensing system, and he loves it! It is also easier for my Mom to not have to worry about reminding him to take his medications. It was well worth the cost to ensure his safety and avoiding a potentially fatal mistake.
