Health-Minder, A Portrait of Senior Health

Health-Minder software can help eldercare givers manage the health records of aging parents and other senior family members, whether you care for them at home or monitor their care in a nursing home or other eldercare facility.  Learn more about nutritional needs of people over 50. Keep a handy prescription shopping list for trips to the pharmacy. Record medical device information such as eye glass prescriptions, wheelchair models, hearing aids, and where you bought them. Track medical expenses and reimbursements from Medicare and health insurance. If you are a caregiver coping with the responsibilities of eldercare, or if you need help managing the health records and requirements of your own aging body, download a copy of Health-Minder and see how it can help you.

How many refills does Mom have left on her heart medicine prescription? Where did we buy that hearing aid for Gramps?
Now that I have my AARP card, how have my nutritional needs changed?
