With my mother initially I wrote it down and put it in a place she always looks first thing in the morning (she’s still on chemo then radio but similar re needing medication reminder), and initially I text her each morning to remind her until it became a habit. In my journey with chronic health conditions I found tricks like setting an alarm on daily that I’d rename as ‘meds’ so it wasn’t visible to the household but a prompt for me, or use the prompt of preparing school lunch with the meds near the chopping board behind the Vegemite so it was a clear daily prompt (especially as my son rarely prepares food outside of microwave/toaster). Another friend has her meds next to her toothbrush in the vanity which she finds helps as a prompt for her to take meds in the morning or straight before bed whilst discreet from family/guests. Maybe one or a mix of these ideas can work for you. Hth
