How Lifeline Medication Dispensing Service Works.

Reduce the risk of medication errors.

If you value your health and independence, you know it's important to take medications exactly as your doctor prescribed. Yet improper medication management and falls can get in the way of independent living, creating stress for you and your loved ones.

With the complexity of medications many seniors take, it's no surprise: 1 in 10 hospital admissions for seniors are a result of medication errors.* Companion Lifeline now offers a simple, proven Medication Dispensing Service that can help.

Sound easy? It is—and it's effective. Medication Dispensing Service has been proven to deliver a 98.6% in-home dispensing adherence level among monitored subscribers.

How MDS Works.

Load

You put the senior’s medications into individual cups and load them into the dispenser. Provide the medication schedule to Companion Lifeline and we will program the dispenser for you.

Dispense

The senior presses the button when they hear the reminder. The dispenser will dispense the medication that you have loaded for the senior, at the programmed times.

Alert

The dispenser is connected to the senior's telephone line, so if the senior misses a dose, the dispenser can contact you or another family member. You can then check on the senior to make sure they are getting their medication.
