One of the many things I do around here (meaning my home) is sort everyone’s medicines. We got a lot of it too. I have daily medications, Ma does, my uncle does and Sam does. Ma is the one I’ve struggled with the most. She wants to deal with it herself but I haven’t found a method that works for her. That is until I received the AUVON Weekly Pill Organizer. This little system has changed my life.
It is rather simple when you look at it. Each day has three compartments; morning, noon, and night. Pretty straight forward right? Ma takes medicine when she gets up, at dinner (supper for y’all southerners who are screaming about me calling it dinner, Ma does too), and then bedtime. So I knew the AUVON Weekly Pill Organizer would work for her.
I take each day and fill them for her. Well, I do it on Saturday night for the week for everyone cause I have no life it would seem. Just kidding! I set everyone up for the week so I can be sure everyone is actually taking them medicine. Ma got the flu one year and I discovered her housecoat full of pills where she was putting them when I handed them to her to take. Now we go through the whole Nurse Ratchet, let me see under your tongue routine.
She is much better about them now. Each little daily container in the AUVON Weekly Pill Organizer has the day written on it. That means she can go by the days or the colors cause each day is a different color as well.
Then you have the clear container that holds all of the days. Ma can easily set the next day on top of her dresser when she goes to bed. This is honestly the best system we have had for her.
This is a system that gives me piece of mind. Ma takes all of her medicine without fail. That could be because she’s knows I’m gonna check but hey honestly, this organizer got her excited. Anything that excited her is more than perfect in my book.
In my opinion this AUVON Weekly Pill Organizer is perfect. I am so thrilled to have discovered it and will tell you it has made our life easier. I no longer have to worry about making sure Ma’s medicine is ready for her.
DO YOU USE A MEDICINE ORGANIZER? IF YES, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? DOES IT HELP OR NO? PLEASE SHARE YOUR COMMENTS WITH US IN THE COMMENTS.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.
Leela says
I sure can use something this organized. I am on so many pills since dealing with cancer.
Rita says
I am so sorry you are dealing with cancer. This will help with the number of medicines you are on.
heather says
Thanks for the great review. I would so love to get this for my mom. I so love the different colors for each day that is super important and helpful.
Rita says
That is one thing I love about it as well. The colors help since she is beginning to have a difficult time seeing words.
bn100 says
looks useful
Rita says
Yes it is, thank you.
Dana Rodriguez says
These would be very helpful for those that take multiple medications. I like that they are different colors for different days.
Rita says
It is useful Dana! Ma is loving this and it has helped so much. I swear I’m going to enough of these for three months so when I go on vacation I can set her up completely.
Erin N says
This would be very useful for vitamins, too!
Rita says
YES! I can totally see this being used for vitamins.

Back when I used to travel… I used these. When I’m at home I don’t have that much to keep track of.
Rita says
That it me. However since I have so many different medicines when we travel I generally keep them in their own bottles. God forbid something happens and we end up getting medicines confused.
Dandi D says
Thankfully I don’t have to keep track of any pills, but this looks like a good system!
Rita says
Be grateful that you don’t have any. I swear it looks like a pharmacy around here on Saturday nights when I refil everything for the week.
Adriane says
This would have helped me SO much when I was caregiving my mom!
Rita says
It is a huge help.
Amber Lee Kolb says
These are great! I really need a set. I have so many pills I take with my chronic illness. I also love the bright colors!
Rita says
I’m sorry you have to take so many medications. The colors are really great.
Shirley O says
A great way to keep things organized and stay on track.
Rita says
Yes it is and we are loving it.
Judith Bayer says
My mother always said my day would come and it has and I am using a pill organizer. Not as attractive as the one you posted though and a very more functionable for travel.
Rita says
I know what you mean. I swear this would never happen to me but Iwell, now I one too.
Adriane says
Nice! This would have been a huge help when I was caregiving my mom
Cassandra D says
I will have to check this out. Thank you for the information.
