Take a picture of your medicine bottle labels with your smartphone's camera. This way you can use the zoom function to easily read the instructions on the label. This is also useful for reading ingredient labels and menus.

Quick Caregiving Tip

Taking medications on time and correctly  improves safety and well-being.  If your loved one has to take medications at certain times of the day, you can usually set up multiple reminders in your phone (or theirs) using either an alarm or calendar alert or even use a digital kitchen timer. There are also Apps available for medication reminders and an advantage of using one of these is that you now have a list of the medications, how to take them, alerts to take them and some will remind you when to get refills.
