Medication management is a growing problem for the elderly and at-risk individuals in the United States. Live Free Home Health Care has an affordable, easy to use medication management system with seniors in mind. Clients using our medication dispensers are on average 90% compliant to their doctor’s prescription regimen. Our systems work because they are easy-to-use and make remembering to take medications a breeze. Our systems are pre-loaded by the caregiver or medical professional and set up to remind the client to take their medication. When the time comes for them to take their next dose, an alarm will sound and the dose will rotate into position. Our medication dispensers can also be set up so that they are monitored by the Care Center. Monitored devices are hooked up to the phone line and notify the Care Center if a medication dose is not taken within an allotted amount of time. When the Care Center receives notification of a missed dose they will try to contact either the client or a pre-designated contact person for the client to remind them to take their medication.
