Please, does anyone have any bright ideas? I tried Social Services for help without any success but they said I could try asking her GP. Haven't managed to do that yet but was unsure if this would be any help?? I've tried looking on Amazon and generally googling around but everything seems either too expensive or not big enough.
I have been using an unlocked big box on a a higher up kitchen shelf labelled "Carers' Box" but caught my mother getting down the box this morning to take her Alendronic Acid tablet (that nightmare dementia tablet) and saying she always dosed her medication herself! I had actually hidden the tablet in her bathroom cabinet for her to find after first being instructed to PHONE AS SOON AS YOU GET UP.....so that I could give her the instructions. (I gave up on the carer's giving the tablet as it just wasn't working. Roll on the bone density scan to see if she can get off this one!)
But mostly now I am concerned about her pulling down the Carers Box and thinking she might might be quite capable of medicating any of her other tablets herself.
