Taking meds
Hello
Had the same problem with my mum. However, her drugs are in a dosette box. In theory so she knows which ones to take on which day. Downside is, she doesn't always remember what day it is! Once she started on her Alz drugs, she reluctantly accepted the help of a drop-in carer who pops in for about five minutes at a time to suit mum, in the morning and at tea time.
Mum is also v.independent and last week 'sacked' the p.m. drop-in carer. I posted about this last week as I was so low with it all! However, she didn't seem to remember that she'd done it and I asked them to continue. Couldn't you fix something similar up for your mum, via your social worker? They can review it after a month. If the tabs are helping yr mum remember a little more, then you can say to her that maybe she won't need the carer. I had to 'sell' the service to mum by saying that as well as that as she'd paid her 'stamp' for all those years, she might as well get something back. She seemed quite happy with that (well, till she 'sacked' the carer) ! It's a tricky one; but as of today, the drop-in carers are still going in and I've found it a godsend in terms of peace of mind. Mum also used to tell me she'd taken the tabs when I rang her. Only for me to discover that she'd sometimes missed a couple of days. Speak to your CPN/SW and see if they can help and post back and let us know how you get on. Good Luck
