Product Information

Before considering high-tech equipment to prompt, warn or trigger alarms, consider simple solutions that may remove risk. Some hazards cannot be anticipated, for example the light bulb blowing when you are walking upstairs. Others are more apparent and it is therefore possible to reduce risk or get rid of the hazard completely. So, for example: Whether you need a pill organiser that shows you the week ahead or the full month, you can find the right product with Complete Care Shop. We have a range of pill organiser boxes with a full week view as well as a full month. Carefully lay out each day’s medication, whether for yourself or someone else and ensure all tablets are taken when they should be. Ideal for the elderly That assistive technologies, including telecare, may be used to do tasks an individual is still able to do for themselves. This may contribute to them losing these skills sooner than would otherwise have been the case.

Personal locators are portable products designed to be carried by you when you go out. They enable authorised individuals, such as relatives or carers, to find out your location by logging onto the internet from a computer or smartphone. Most work via GPS (a satellite based global positioning system) and will allow individuals you have authorised to find your location (if you are carrying the device) to approximately 10 metres. They may not be able to find you if you are indoors unless they also contain GSM mobile phone technology.These will automatically sound an alarm in your home and send an alarm call to your monitoring centre if it detects smoke. The monitoring centre can then alert the fire brigade. These alarms may be appropriate if you would find it difficult to get out of your home promptly, or might not remember what the smoke alarm was for. Keep the timer next to the cooker to act as a prompt to set it. There is also a device that goes into the bottom of a pan and rattles when the liquid boils to provide an alert. The timers we list have features such as large digits or a talking read out of the remaining time for individuals who cannot see the display. Systems may be mains or battery operated and either connected by a wire or wireless. Some only allow one-way communication, others are two-way, allowing full conversation. Some have a handset which must be used when speaking through the system, others have a hands-free facility. This may allow the unit to transmit messages once speech is sensed. If no speech is sensed, the unit remains on receive mode. I am a huge fan of the simple 7-day pill organizers. I suggest reloading them on Sunday evenings and getting your pills straight for the following week. Take it one week at a time, and keep your pill organizer in the same location in your home, in a spot you see every day." —Alaina Ross, RN with 10 years of experience as a PACU nurse

That the devices may make daily activities more complicated or increase an individual's anxieties that they may unintentionally activate the alarm or damage the equipment. Most pill boxes available to buy are weekly plastic containers, with either a single compartment (for once-daily dosing) or 2 compartments (for twice-daily dosing - also known as an am-pm pill box).Pill organisers, also referred to as ‘dosette' type boxes, are filled by the user, or with assistance from family and carers. These have separate compartments for days of the week and/or times of day such as morning, afternoon and evening. Some use flashing lights, alarms or vibration to prompt you to take your medication. Leaking gas is dangerous. Ultimately, leaking gas can build up to dangerous levels which can result in explosions. Many newer cookers will automatically cut the gas off if the flames are not ignited, but older models may not have this safety feature. One option to manage the danger of un-ignited gas is to fit a natural gas alarm (not to be confused with carbon monoxide alarms) that will sound when the sensor detects gas. Some only sound an alarm, so someone must recognise what the alarm is for and act on it. Others actually turn off the gas supply. Some people have difficulty remembering the day of the week and the time of day, i.e. seven in the morning or seven in the evening, especially in the summer months when there are more daylight hours. Also, confusion can arise in the winter months when the evenings draw in early – it can be dark at 5pm, but it is not bedtime. The boxes come in a range of complexity. Some just provide for a single day’s medication, others take a full week’s supply of tablets with days of the week clearly labelled. Some allow for multiple doses each day throughout a week. Be cautious of sales people who try to persuade you to buy equipment that may not meet your needs fully or is over-priced. Buying from a company that belongs to a trade association, such as the British Healthcare Trades Association, may give you some reassurance as members have signed up to a code of practice governing standards of customer service.

There are no uniform 'answers', 'rights' or 'wrongs'. However, it may help to consider the following issues. You can use these points to shape your discussion with the providing company or at an equipment demonstration centre. Organizers that come with limited sections and force you to mix multiple pills together can undermine the purpose of a pillbox. The most helpful organizers allow you to dissect and separate your medication based on time, day, and week. Organize Pills for a Month - Each compartment of the pill boxes are labeled with day of week and the week number. Giving you 4 weeks of organized medications! Your living arrangements, family support and the needs of any carer/s. Their perspectives, personal fears, anxieties and agendas may need resolving as may those of any professionals involved.

Opening the door to strangers can be risky. A door viewer, a chain or intercom (see below) can provide a way of identifying the caller before the door is opened fully. Memory prompt sensor devices that give a recorded warning could be triggered as you approach the door from inside. For example, it could automatically remind you: 'Put your safety chain on before you open your door to a caller'.
