This came in handy when I found myself assisting my husband after a Stroke. He went from taking no pills to 11 pills a day at different times and some pills repeated. This became our lifesaver and allowed him to gain back some of his independence so he could remember and check to confirm that he took his pills at the right time. I can also look at a quick glance to make sure that he is still taking them with no problems. It took me awhile to find a pill box that included 3 spots a day. Only need to spend a few minutes one time a week to fill in the spots for the whole week. I did give it 4 stars for security because it is not child safety locker so you need to make sure that you keep it out of little peoples hands but it does make it easy for someone who does not have the grip to open and close a pill box multiple times a day
