What do you do when your elderly loved one will not take their medicine?

sometimes dad says i dont want any , so i dont force him to take any , mostly at night time he tells me he doesnt wanna take any . so but then the next night he wants em .
he knows his body more than i do .

crush and add to applesauce, is what I meant to say. I'm stressed out at the moment, so I came on here to try to get into a better mood.

HI I cursh the meds and mix them into applesauce and she doesn't mind taking the meds that way.
