I give Mom her pills in small paper cup, walk out of her bedroom. In a short time, she'll give me the cup and say I didn't get give her her pills. I always bend the paper cup over to prevent it spilling and place it in a big serving tray. Anyone know why she does this? It doesn't happen all the time, but probably a few times a week. She has no Alzheimer's, refuses to go to appointment to be eval for Dementia.
Some pills can be tiny and awkward to handle, thus slip out of one's hand. I had found pills under the sofa cushions and under my Dad's recliner.
Yes, time to stand there and watch her take them then take the cup away.
