Where Pivotell began

The story of how Pivotell started begins with our founder’s mother Mavis, who was diagnosed with Parkinsonism and Lewy Body Dementia in 2000. As with many chronic and degenerative illnesses there are many tablets to take, and there can be problems if they are either not taken or taken late. As time passed she became increasingly anxious and confused about when to take her next pills. She was confused about the time of day, and which section of the dosset box she should open next.

She began to telephone at all hours of the day and night to ask if it was time to take her next pills. Even though a care agency calls on her three times a day, they were not always able to be there at the exact time that the pills were due to be taken, which caused a number of panic attacks as she waited for them to arrive.

We began to worry about her overdosing. And found that pills were going missing from the dosset box. Several times she took her pills, had a nap, and woke up after an hour or so later and thought it was the next day, and so took the next morning's dose. We could see that if this continued she would have to go into care or would end up in hospital.

Everyone began to get very stressed. Mavis’ daughter had a full time job and couldn’t be with her four times a day, but could not accept that just because her medication could not be delivered on time she would have to move into a care home.

Although Mavis became confused about her pills it was felt that she was still able, with a little help, to live in her own home. We needed a pill dispenser which we could fill, and lock and which would automatically dispense the correct dosage on time.

When Mavis first started to use it we were not sure that she would recognise the alarm or know that she had to tilt the dispenser over to take the pills. It wasn’t a problem - she left it in the hall during the day, and took it to the bedroom at bed time. She had a bag to carry it in when she went out to day-care. The staff at day care were delighted with the dispenser as many times she had dropped her dosset box and pills had spilt over the floor. A spare internal cassette tray was filled kept and filled up ready to replace her current tray once a week.

January 2005 For the time being Mavis was still in her own home and maintaining independence. Although there were other problems associated with old age, Parkinsonism and dementia, the pills are no longer an issue. The automatic pill dispenser transformed both Mavis and her daughter’s lives over those 4 years.

July 2006 Mavis was no longer able to use the dispenser herself and she needed 24 hour care.

May 30th 2007 Mavis died, the day before her 80th birthday.
