Thank you for creating this product. My mother is able to stay at home and take her medication thanks to this pill machine. She was recently declared cognitively unable to take her medications from a traditional pill box.
The visiting nurses have commented on how much better she is doing now that she is getting the correct medication at the correct time. Prior to having your specialized pill machine, my mother was inadvertently taking medication from the wrong day or time or getting confused and trying to put the medication back into the regular pill bottles and fill the pill boxes herself.
This machine has eliminated all of that confusion for her and allows her to live at home and take her medication without supervision.
Thank you for giving my mother additional days/months/years of independence. I know at some point her Parkinsons will get the best of her, but for today, the machine allows her greater independence.
Thank you. T.M.(NH)
