Reliable Medication Reminder Strategies for Seniors

Medication compliance and adherence are essential for seniors to manage their health and health conditions at home effectively. Sadly, complex medication regimens, memory issues, and age-related problems can make it challenging for them to remember when and how to take their medication. Our caregivers in Florida can help your elderly loved ones remember to take their medication at home to ensure continuing good health. Seniors can also not forget how and when to take their medicines with these medication reminder strategies:

• Use Pill Organizers
  Pill organizers have compartments for each dose, allowing them to determine whether or not they have taken their medication for the day. Many pill organizers are also labeled with the day of the week or time of the day, providing medication reminders for seniors.
• Set Alarms and Leave Notes
  Setting alarms on their smartphone or using a dedicated medication reminder app can alert seniors that it is time to take their medication, promoting medication adherence and compliance. Leaving notes in visible places can also serve the same function as alarms on their smartphones.
• Consider Caregiver Assistance
  Care providers like our private home care in Parrish, Florida, can connect your elderly loved ones with reliable caregivers who can help them with their medication management at home, supervising their medication administration to ensure that they take their medicine correctly and on time.
