| |Simplify Medication Management
Keeping up with multiple medications can be a challenge, especially when there are certain prescriptions that must be taken at specific times during the day. According to the Alliance for Health Reform, approximately 20% of seniors are using about 50 prescriptions every year, and research shows about 25% of all nursing home admissions are related to improper self-administration of medicine.*
Direct Link’s automated medication dispenser can help simplify medication management, giving you peace of mind and maximizing independence. You’ll have fewer worries about:
- Forgetting to take a dose.
- Taking a double dose.
- Taking at the wrong time.
- Opening and closing pill bottles.
- Identifying pills or bottles if you are visually impaired.
- Privacy of type and quantity of medications.
How the Med Dispenser Works
The unit utilizes user-friendly microchip technology to dispense multiple medications at preset times:
- Load up to 28 doses of medication.
- Set the digital alarm clock.
- Close the unit under lock and key, not just a latch.
- When dose is ready, alarm sounds and red light flashes.
- If dose is not taken, The Care Center is alerted and will call to remind you.
* The unit is compatible with digital cable/VoIP phone service, and it is AC operated with a 72-hour rechargeable battery back-up for travel or power failures.
* According to Albert I. Wertheimer, Medication Compliance: Still Far to Go. The Journal of Applied Research
