Mum has just started on Donepazil / Aricept a week ago. She did the first week quite well but is now getting confused about the days (and denying it, which means she isn't trying to help us help her).
There are no family nearby who can supervise her daily, so we will either have to get someone from an agency to go in each day (which she really doesn't want) or try a timed automatic pill dispenser, which she might be able to deal with as long as she can't open it on the wrong day ... this is the problem.
Does anyone know of such a device? Or has any experience using one?
