Children of Elderly Parents
The circle
of life often comes fully round as children care for elderly parents. One
issue confronting many is managing medication.
As described in
Grandma's
story,
CompuMed was created as a labor of love. We built what we wanted grandma to
have . . . something that would dispense what she needed, when she needed
it and remind her to take AND lock out all the other medication until it was
the proper time for it.
Many children of parents needing medication management are not able to be
full time caregivers because of work and other family obligations. In our
situation, we were able to check on Grandma in the morning and evening. That
wasn't enough as far as her medication was concerned - until we developed
CompuMed.
