232. How to Transition Your Loved One with Dementia Away from Independent Medication Management

One of the hardest parts of dementia caregiving is knowing when to step in—especially when it comes to medication management. Your loved one may want to stay independent, but as mistakes happen, safety must come first.

We dive into a real-life coaching session where Shauna, a dementia caregiver, faces the difficult transition of taking over her mother’s medication management.

Taking over medication management is a tough transition, but it’s a necessary step to keep your loved one safe. Approach it with patience, empathy, and a plan. 
By involving them in small ways and focusing on their well-being, you can make this change feel supportive rather than restrictive.

You’re not just managing pills—you’re providing peace of mind for both of you.
