[quote=Anonymous]The Hero brand robot pill server bought my mom an extra 10 months in independent living. You can load it for long periods of time and you can monitor remotely. Unf the words on the screen are not very legible for someone with reduced vision. Medicare may cover it now. The GrandPad tablet is an email/voice call/video chat device with a closed ecosystem so only approved people can dial in and out. When it’s not in use it’s a photo slideshow. It hasn’t been life changing because my poor mom insists on trying to make her iPhone work even when it confuses her, but it’s pretty good, and I have heard from friends that it has been wonderful for elders who are not already too attached to their iPhones. It’s nice to have a cup holder on your walker/rollator/wheelchair. Sneakers with stiff heels that you can slip on without bending over are popular with some. I forget the brand but there is one that specializes in just this. [/quote]
