My mother is suffering from the early symptoms of dementia. We're managing quite well for now with home carers. Her (many many) tablets are blister packed so that is generally working ok -although she has gotten confused about what day it is at times. However, she takes a sleeping tablet every evening. We leave a week's supply laid out on her dressing table every Sunday evening but many many times, she forgets that she has taken one and will take another.
Does anyone know of a pill dispenser that would only open once a day so that she can only take one sleeping tablet every night? I've looked online but the only ones I can see have alarms etc to remind people to take their medication but that's not what we need. We just don't want her to overdose.
