Fractured my wrist, trying to catch my wife, with dementia, from falling. I have to crush some of her pills. Can't do it now. Any advice?

Found out that my coffee grinder does a great job

Ouch! I hope that your wrist heals as quickly as possible.

Glad that you found a solution for grinding your wife’s pills.

Coffee grinders are fantastic for grinding coffee and many other things.

Once again the site tacks on "any advice" when the OP is in fact giving advice and hasn't asked for any 🙄

I purchased a pill crusher that makes the pill into powder. I purchased on Amazon.

There are pill crushers. See if your pharmacy has one. I got mine when they gave me a gift bag at the NH for signing Mom up. Look up pill crushers. There are some, a little pricy, that are electric. Mine is the red pill box one. Theres one where you turn the knob to crush.

Next time you are going to have to let her fall and call the non emergency number to get her picked up off the floor. What are your plans going forward to get her more care?

Great idea, but of course make sure it's cleaned thoroughly before grinding the coffee!
