My MIL (severe Alzheimer's) sometimes gets suspicious of the pills she has to take, although they've been the same pills for many years. So I have to reassure her they're "doctor's order" and stand by her while she swallows them all.
Due to her lack of mobility, going to the bathroom can be difficult. My solution so far have been fiber gummies. She likes those.

I used to crush some of mom's tablets and mix with her favorite yogurt, never had a problem.

My husband started questioning what pills are for. And has taken many for years. Who made them.
