HERO

HERO is a pill dispensary that helps us manage Mom's medication.  HERO alerts Mom that it is time to take her pills, and alters me what has been taken or not been taken.  The primary care provider suggested the service.  After multiple phone calls, and hoops we finally got the machine.  After receiving the machine we made our on-line appointment to get the set up started.  As we set up the machine it became apparent that this was a perfect choice for mom.   As we loaded the machine we had to empty pill bottles.  As we emptied pill bottles we found that Mom was not as upfront about the organization of her medication as we thought.  We had to load five different medications and  we found that four of the five pill bottles contained multiple different medications.   😞  As we loaded the pills there was another realization.  It was the realization that Mom could no longer handle her medication independently.   If we would have continued allowing her to handle her medication there could have been overdose or under dosing of certain pills. The apps were installed on Matt and I's phone and we have entered another phase.
