Hello, I am currently in Florida and uncertain whether they are open to covering the travel expenses. I will contact you regarding this matter. l you…

Hi Maria-sorry I’m so late in responding. Is there someone who can load the dispenser for them? I have a married couple, both of them experiencing cognitive issues, and med dispensing, taking, remembering they took it, etc. has been issues. The son found a product he really likes, but for safety it is filled by someone else.

Thank you everyone. I have not looked yet to see if this name has been used. This is just my initial vision for my company 🙂

I think that is a really great name as well, it really covers what we do!

Laura,

I love your comment about missing questions about keeping yourself separate from difficult situations! You are right on target that this is real, can happen easily and does happen. Being aware of it and how we can prepare ourselves for those types of scenarios is a great plan.
