We all know that making sure you take all your medication at the right time can be hard. The more medication you have to take, it makes it even more of a challenge. Luckily, we at Freedom Home Care have a few tips to help simplify the process and ensure your loved ones are taken care of.

Tip number one, set alarms for medication. There are a ton of multi-function alarm clocks that you can use to remind yourself when it is time to take your medicine. Some are even made for that exact reason like the Med-Q Digital Pill Box. Set the alarm right by your bed side or in the kitchen area; wherever you will see it the most.

The next way you could remind yourself is via smartphone. Not only by setting alarms in your phone, but there are other ways a smartphone can be effective for taking medication. Applications such as Pill Reminder sets up reminders and instructions for all medication types.

Pill watches are a thing and you should look into it! What better way to remind yourself wherever you go than by having it always on your wrist. These watches still fully function as a watch, but is able to set timers and alarms for medication. There are plenty of styles on the market today.

Next up is using a pill organizer. For those that do not enjoy learning new technology, this is a great way to stay organized and ensure that all of your medication will be taken at the right time. You can have two organizers, one for day and one for night to help keep track as well.

Helping organize your loved one’s pills with them will ensure that they do not overtake or miss any of the medication. Coming from a home care agency, it is always a good idea to help them organize their medication instead of having them do it alone.
