In March of 2021, we were approached by a support worker on behalf of her clients – an elderly couple dealing with limited income and serious health issues. Garry had developed a sever heart condition, while his partner Gina was dealing with complications from diabetes.
Due to literacy, technology and income barriers, management of medications had become challenging, and continued to threaten the health of this couple.
Along with our community partners, we were able to purchase automatic medication administration machines. These devices have dramatically improved Garry and Gina’s health and have allowed them to better maintain their deteriorating health.
The total cost for this project? Less than $250.
