MedCenter System

Bought for my elderly mother who could not remember to take medications. We used to use the organizers that stated days of the week, but she would not know what day of the week it was. In short it was a big mess just barely better than nothing. This thing is spot on , however. The red/green color labels, date vs day, and the wonderful talking timer... It just works so well. Actually the talking timer is hard to understand, but Imade her live thru it for 2 weeks just to get used to the process. The beep alarm is sufficient. Now that she is used to the red "done", green "next" labels , we don't have to really know what day it is, but the LED gives her a visual cue in case of confusion. My mother curses the alarm on a daily basis, but we have not missed a single dose since we started using this system. WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE FOR THAT. The timer is fairly easy to set, I bought an ac adapter, but it is still running on the original batteries we started with, the alarm is set 4 x per day and frequently goes off for an hour or so before she wakes to hear it. I will probably never use the adapter unless I run out of batteries. BUT there is a huge downside for the one filling this organizer- all those little boxes have 4 separate, hard to open lids -I fill a month at a time; this takes an hour or so and a whole tabletop to do . Then if a script is changed, added or removed another hour for maintenance. We have had script changes 7 times in the past month This IS A PAIN , but it is worth it to me. But I've had lots experience with caregivers-friends & family, home health workers,etc.. and I have not encountered very many that would reliably provide the due dilligence to properly maintain this system. This is something you don't want somebody filling during commercials, or while in a hurry to get on to the next patient down the road. Just sayin'

I got this for my parents. They take a lot of pills, and it's hard to keep track of everything. This makes it much easier. The voice giving directions is a nice feature, and it's clear and loud, and the compartments are easy to use. It was also less expensive than some of the alternatives that had lower ratings.

OK, so my father is up there in age. This has caused some problems with his medications over the years. For at least 20 years I would pack his pills in those weekly pill boxes that said AM and PM and Sunday - Saturday. These were great when my dad was able to easily understand what day of the week it is. Now that he is not as mobile and spends a lot of time in bed, sometimes he forgets the day of the week and was taking pills from different days and sometimes forgetting to take pills at night or at different times all together. This was becoming a big Challenge and causing the wrong results for the purpose of taking the pills. So I ordered him this nifty pill reminder box set with Alarm. The first one arrived without the ALARM but that got worked out (Thanks to Amazon, not the seller) and I got the ALARM a week later. In the mean time I set up his pills and set up the Alarms. Even though it can do I think 4 ALARMS a day I chose to skip the mid day pill ALARM. I still had to set it but I could choose to not have the alarm go off. This was a concern when buying it because someone said they couldn't skip an alarm but in reality you can, you just have to set it still. So the first week my dad was taking them, he was a mess. I mean he did not get it at all. He would take the boxes out and not look at the numbers and just still take whichever he wanted. Sometimes I found the boxes on the other side of the room. Finally I explained again and again that there are numbers to match the date, the date on his watch or the clock or his phone. Something clicked. OK, now the other problem was from the laying in bed, he could not see the numbers on top. (Yes I know, this should not be a problem but he has decided lazy is his way and he doesn't want to put that much effort into taking pill). So I took my crafty labeler and not only made new numbers but had green and red tape so I could make it match as they do on the top. This could be done with red and green pen with any paper stuck or glued on but it made a world of difference. Now he takes them in a new routine, on time. If he forgets and the alarm goes off, he now takes them. Hardly any more missed pills still in the boxes when I go to re fill them. The nurses are amazed at the boxes to, nice and tidy set up and makes it easier to keep track of what he has taken or missed. The only reason I did not put 5 stars for easy to read is I wish they did make it so you can see it from the side. It is a large item full of pills. Most adult who are taking pills will put them up higher to keep away from kids or grandkids. So in not just for my dad but others I can see having to pull the entire item down to see the top of the boxes to make sure they are on schedule. I love the red and green though for when they are needed to be taken or have already been taken. Just couldn't see that before I marked them myself on the sides.

Lots of pills, every day? This tower made it foolproof. Bad eyesight, doesn't matter-dates are large, colors are easy! It's big, but it's EFFECTIVE and EASY. Sometimes snaps are tough but still worth it for the peace of mind and independence this provides. And ONCE A MONTH filling. No more weekly headache. Returned and purchased a second one so I can go on a vacation and not worry about Dad's pills!!!! Dad can travel and take the days containers he needs.

I bought this for myself as I keep forgetting to take my medication. I am 41. Even though you can use it four times a day I use it three times a day. It has an option to where you can skip a time that you’re not using your medication. I love how it talks to you to notify you about taking your medication, if it wouldn’t notify me, then I wouldn’t be able to take my medicine because again I would forget. The only downfall is, it’s very hard to open the containers. Other than that, I give it five stars.

I’ve had this product for a few months now and it’s been really great. Highly recommend

Much needed and has reduced the stress of taking multiple pills for senior ! Easy to use and since purchase never missed a pill as the recording is loud enough that you can hear it from another room and does not not stop until you take pill .

One of the most clever systems for individuals with slight memory issues.

This product is dirty, used and broken!! It had all hair on it and it’s dirty. Plus the alarm button doesn’t set anymore.

Bought this product for my dad, and it was the best investment i could have made for him. Easy set up, very user friendly. Would recommend this product for anyone who is in the market for a medication reminder product.
