Those meds I sit down and let grandmother get involved to help with. I sit with her and tell her what needs to be done. I agree with Scoutlady on the independence. Every situation is different but may be simular. I have past the point of the meds. being at thier home, when grandmother gave grandfather her meds. Sounds to me that you can sit together and have conversation while watching what is being done. Gentle reminders,does that go there? If the person doesnt' want to then ask them to teach you how to do it.
