Medication Reminders in Nairobi & Kiambu
Reminders to take medicine the doctor has already prescribed, at the right times — with a simple log the family can see.
Many older adults take several medicines a day for blood pressure, diabetes, heart conditions or arthritis. Missed or doubled doses are common, especially with memory changes — and families abroad worry about it a lot.
What I do
I remind your loved one to take the medicine their doctor has already prescribed, at the times on the prescription or pharmacy label. I can help open packets, pour water, and keep a simple daily log so the family knows what was taken. If the family uses a weekly pill organiser filled by a pharmacist, nurse or family member, I'll use it.
What I don't do
I don't decide which medicine to take, change doses, start or stop medicines, or give injections. If your loved one refuses a medicine, seems to have side effects, or medicine is running low, I tell the family promptly so they can speak with the doctor or pharmacist.
Why this matters
Taking medicine reliably is one of the simplest ways to keep long-term conditions under control and avoid hospital visits. A friendly reminder and a written log give everyone peace of mind.
Medication Reminders: common questions
Can you give insulin injections? +
No. Injections, including insulin, must be given by the client themselves, a trained family member or a registered nurse. I can remind them when it's due and record that it was done.
