Is there a gadget to help Mom keep better track of her medications?

An anonymous caregiver asked...

I visited my mom last week. She lives over 200 miles away from me and has no family near-by. While I was there I noticed that sometimes her weekly pill box would have a full Tuesday compartment on Wednesday, which means she didn't take her thyroid medication at all. She's in good health, but I am worried about her "forgetting" her pills. She's a real spitfire and independent and doesn't have any major health issues so I don't want to upset her but is there some gadget I could get her to keep track of her medicines like with an alarm or something.

The best thing ever is a MEDQ Pillbx. I set it for two weeks. When it's time for my Mom to take my pills. It flashes in the individual box she needs to take. If she don't see it an alarm beeps as well. She haven't missed a pill in months. She ended up in the ER last Aug from triple dosing. This "All-in-One" electronic pill dispenser is great

MEDQPILLBOX.com and its only 40 bucks. It's Amazing

I was having problems remembering to take my medication. Not that i have memory loss but would settle in for the evening and just forget. I found a great Automatic Pill Dispenser that let me place my medicines in this revolving tray and it has a loud beeping and flashing light. To turn if off you have to pore the pill in your hand and you can program it to give you your pill from 1 to 4 times a day. here's where I found it. http://2brothersgiftstore.com Hope it helps
