The Jitterbug Check-in Calls Service for Senior Citizens

Let's look at another Jitterbug service tha caters to the special needs of the elderly. We have previously featured the Jitterbug LiveNurse and the Medication Reminders services. This time let's talk about the Check-in Calls service.

This mobile service for the elderly aims to provide "peace of mind, and a sense of security" for only five bucks per month. The company's automated system will ensure that the elderly user are being checked on every day.

The Jitterbug Check-in Calls service will send a notification call will be sent to a consumer's list of personal contacts so that help can be provided immediately should the senior user require any assistance.

The Jitterbug Medication Reminders Service

Here's another Jitterbug service that can be helpful for senior citizens. The Jitterbug Medication Reminders service helps the elderly to stay up-to-date and on schedule with their prescription schedule.

This service is similar to the Auto-Med iPhone App. However, this isn't an application but a service that calls users to keep them on track of their prescription schedule.

I think it's a helpful service since serous complications can arise when seniors forget to take their medications or confuse dosage and administration times.

The senor-friendly Jitterbug Medication Reminders service costs $10 per month.

A loved one can enter in the senior's medications exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Then an automated system will call the user to remind them to take medication at the appropriate times.

The Jitterbug website also provides a way for senior users to track their adherence to your schedule.

That's it. Another good service from the manufacturer of one of the best mobile phone for seniors in the business and the provider of the award-winning Live Nurse service.
