In the beginning I found Glenn’s medications to be overwhelming. There were 16 different bottles I was juggling. I also began worrying what would happen with Glenn and his medications if something happened to me so i decided to make a chart that has all the important information including the name of the prescription, prescribing physician, the prescriptions dose, when it is taken and what it does.

I also bought a pill box for an extra layer of protection and to help keep things organized and scheduled. There are many different styles on the market so I suggest looking around to find the one that best fits your needs. For Glenn I have a weekly pill box that has a compartment for morning, afternoon and evening. I fill it the same time every week so it is a firm part of our routine. Don’t forget, routine is a saving grace in the life of a caregiver.
