Medicine Dispensers: The Right Pills at the Right Time

If your parent has trouble keeping track of medications, consider investing in an automated medication dispenser. Costing about $200 to $1,000, these locked devices automatically dispense pills at preprogrammed times. When it's time for your parent to take a dose, the device will remind him with an audible alarm and flashing light. Some dispensers enable you to track your parent's medication schedule online, while others contact you when a dose isn't dispensed properly.
