Get organized: pill organizers are inexpensive and essential – especially when multiple medications are involved. Make a list: The AARP recommends creating a written list so you don’t forget include name of the medication, doctor’s name and what it’s for. This list can be digitized if that works best for you. Use technology: The AARP also suggests using mobile phone apps and other technology to help keep track of medications. This can include medication dispensers that sound an alarm when it’s time to take your pills, along with using alarms and cell phone timers as reminders. Train your brain: American Occupational Therapy Association recommends using environmental cues in the home to jog your memory and incorporating medication timing with daily rituals – like meals or favorite television shows. Keep it front and center: AOTA also suggests storing medications in a highly visible location in the home (like a kitchen or bathroom) where you stop frequently throughout the day.
