Who can I ask to fill pill boxes when I am not there?

They now have sitters but sitters cannot take medication out of bottles. I was keeping up but will not be able to travel as often as before.

Have the pharmacy package her pills in blister packs. The cost used to be about $1 per week for the service. That was several years ago, so the price likely has gone up.

It depends on how long you’re gone for, but I used to have extra pill boxes that I would fill up weeks in advance if I was going to be out of town for a few weeks. If the refill date on her pills was an issue, a call to her doctor with an explanation would get me an extra couple of weeks.
