Crush them and put them in pudding or apple sauce.

I had a patient 100 yrs old. I crushed her pills every evening & mixed w a spoonful or two of yogurt. I always spoon fed it to her myself to be sure she got it all down.

We went through that. Mostly I was able to trick him ( sounds awful but I know you will understand) into having his pills by just “ forgetting” the issue. I’d leave them lying around and go do something else for 15 minutes and then go back and try again.

Later on, as the disease got worse. he forgot about not wanting to take them. It’s a hideous disease that makes you look back on that kind of assertiveness and awareness as “the good old days”.

If it gets really bad you can call the Silver Chain nurse to come over and give him his tablets. I had to do that a couple of times.
