How to get someone with dementia to take medication

Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

Today’s video focuses on how to get your loved one with dementia to take their medication, even when they don’t want to. If your loved one asks a lot of questions about their medications, refuses to take them, or if it feels like a battle every day to get your loved one to take their medication, then this video is for you. I go over the top 5 tips to make medication time easier and increase the chances your loved one with dementia will take their medication without a fight. Let me know what tip was most helpful to you and what other tips you do with your loved one.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
