Pill organiser

pmlindyloo

Not sure if this is the right board but here's hoping.

I have just spent an hour looking on the internet for a daily pill dispenser for my elderly mother.

I can find seven day dispensers but only one daily dispenser and that's from USA and incurs incredible postage charges!

To be clear - I need four little plastic 'boxes' with lids labelled 'breakfast', 'lunch', 'tea' and 'bedtime' (or similar!).

Hope someone can help as currently Mum is using a Monday-Sunday dispenser and I've made little labels but they keep coming off!

Mum is 89 and very 'with it' but hands a bit shakey so preferably needs something 'sturd'.

Many thanks in advance!

You'll find varieties of these on sale in every chemist shop. Should be something to suit. OH's one has daily section divided into four other section.

Thank you both for your replies.

Believe me I have searched everywhere, including ebay. They only have the weekly dispensers. I just want a daily one - 4 boxes only!

Any further ideas would be appreciated.

Ah - sorry misunderstood - will try again.

There are companys that will put your pills into blister packs for you.... can't find the address I had for them at the moment though. Can Ma manage blister packs ok?

Click this one for a very elaborate version, with alarm.



or a more simple version Daily Pill Organiser

Thanks so much everyone!

Norbertsmum, the simple version daily pill organiser is exactly what I want - tad expensive though! (Sorry, trying to be a real MSE!!) Thank you for going out of your way to help - am very grateful.

The one Norbert found is £8.24 - seems worth while to me. Very good idea, I wish Id got dad one of those when he was alive, he used to have the lot in one in little compartment.

Hethmar, you're quite right, it is worthwhile.

I shall order it for Mum and keep quiet about the price.

We spent yesterday searching for the cheapest kettle in the whole of the UK! We finally found one for £4.74 in Argos! Problem is Mum has no idea of prices these days and would rather go without than spend what she considers to be 'far too expensive'. Would be happy to buy things for her but she is pretty canny so have to be careful!
