Hi There,
I'm new to the forum, I care for my Mum who has Alzheimer's, she is still able to live at home on her own, and she manages quite well. She doesn't leave the house anymore so I do all her shopping etc. Last week, virtually overnight, she lost the ability to make sense of her medication. It is all set out for her in doses for the day and the time of day, but she just cannot understand what to do. I was looking at an electronic device for dispensing medication and wondered if anyone has used one of these. Are they any good? as they are quite expensive so would appreciate some feedback before I buy one. Or would it just add to the confusion, introducing something new and expecting Mum to understand it?
Thank you in advance
