Customer Reviews of Med-e-lert 2T - Automatic Pill Dispenser 28 Day 7 Day 4 TimesCustomer Review: Great value, does what it's supposed to do
My 87 year old mother lives in a retirement home. We were having issues with her dementia causing her to forget to take her pills on schedule. We had been using a four times a day pill tray. Finally we relented and used the retirement home nursing staff to administer her pills at an initial cost of $175 per month. Soon afterwards, this fee was doubled by the retirement home to $360 a month for the same service. This prompted me to research online for a pill dispensing device. There are some which can cost up to $850, which is still feasable compared to the fee being charged by the nursing staff. After researching, I found the Med-e-lert 2T. I decided to try it because of favorable reviews and the extremely affordable cost of only $69. At that price, what was the risk? We are extremely pleased with the product, to say the least. It peforms as advertised, is simple to program, and has saved us money and our sanity in dealing with my mom. She quickly adapted to the Med-e-lert schedule, and we no longer have to call multiple times a day to remind her to take her pills. Also, we don't have to worry about her taking pills out of sequence. We had problems with her cheating ahead on her sleeping medication in the evening. My only minor suggestions would be that I'd like the manufacturer to add a small screw underneath to the battery compartment lid to keep the batteries locked in place in case the tray is dropped or so the patient can't remove the batteries easily. My second suggestion is that the tray needs to have one blank space in the tray when it's initially filled so no pills are exposed. People using a four times a day weekly refill cannot load the tray fully without having one dose exposed to the patient when the tray is first refilled with the tray as it is. We love this product, especially at it's reasonable price. Order a spare tray, you'll need it so you can refill off site.
