Have you ever felt overwhelmed by medication management in dementia care?
Managing medications for a loved one with dementia can feel like navigating a labyrinth. This episode introduces a beacon of hope, PillMap, a simple yet ingenious solution to this complex challenge.
Kimber Westmore, the founder of PillMap, has a career deeply rooted in fire life safety. Her passion for reducing medication errors was sparked by a personal mission to shield her parents from the risks of mis-medication. The inception of PillMap occurred at her family's kitchen table during Sunday dinners, born out of a desperate need to keep both family and paid caregivers well-informed.
PillMap, known for its effectiveness, is now utilized in every state. It serves as a comprehensive guide to help with management of a pillbox and accompanies patients to various health-related appointments, including visits to doctors, pharmacies, and emergency rooms.
Tragically, Kimber lost her husband to a heart attack 12 years ago. She is a mother to four children and a doting grandmother to four grandchildren. Her personal experiences and family-centric approach have been pivotal in shaping the compassionate vision behind PillMap.
