Care recipient (cr) who is visually impaired and unable to read prescription instructions must take multiple medications throughout the day

Try: #put rubber bands on the prescription bottles to designate the number of times a day the medication should be taken the rubber bands should be spaced accordingly for example ##place one rubber band around the middle of the prescription bottle if the medication is taken once a day ##place two rubber bands around the upper and lower part of the prescription bottle if the medication is taken twice a day ##place three rubber bands around the top middle and bottom of the prescription bottle if the medication is taken three times a day #use the makers to color the tops of the prescription bottles according to when the prescription should be taken for example ##yellow is taken in the morning ##red is taken in the middle of the day ##black is taken in the evening #modify the approach according to the cr’s specific circumstances

Materials: Rubber bands yellow red and black felt tip markers small self-adhesive labels for the top of the prescription bottles
