Think I will have to get a parrot.
Get anyone who need to take tablets a dosset box to put meds in and leave it in a very prominent place- that way they are likely to see it and take the meds
you can also get small pill pots with a timer that they can carry with them which will bleep when meds are due.
To be honest the ages they are they should be capable and responsible enough to take meds as and when.If they dont then they pay the price-its being cruel to be kind(btw i have a god daughter with epilepsy and she learned this way!)
My 12 yr old daughter has taken her own meds for 3 yrs now and rarely needs prompting .she as a small box on a kitchen shelf which i leave in her place on the table at night so she sees them and does them in the morning (she leaves home at 6.50am and i wont get up to check on her)
You could use a small box for your meds -do you have a dosset box for your tabs ? I have used one for the past 5 yrs and they are great.
Hope this helps
