New Medication Dispensing Service For Seniors At Home

How it works

1. Load

You put the senior’s medications into individual cups and load them into the dispenser. Provide the medication schedule to Philips Lifeline and we will program the dispenser for you.

 

2. Dispense

The senior presses the button when they hear the reminder. The dispenser will dispense the medication that you have loaded for the senior, at the programmed times.

 

3. Alert

The dispenser is connected to the senior’s telephone line, so if the senior misses a dose, the dispenser can contact you or another family member. You can then check on the senior to make sure they are getting their medication.
