Our Creative Solution!
Our project started with selecting our Senior Partner, Mrs. Kowker. She is a retired teacher, K-Kids sponsor in our building, and works with the Memory Support Group at Mable Rose Retirement Community. Our discussions with Mrs. Kowker lead us to our project of creating innovative solutions to help seniors remember to take the right medications, at the right time, in the right amount. The team researched memory loss and brainstormed ideas to prevent incorrect use of medications. We had many possible solutions and we were surprised to learn how many devices and contraptions were already out on the market. We came up with three strategies to help seniors remember their meds and were intrigued to learn what seniors face daily in their lives.
