How to Get Elders to Go to the Doctor and Take Their Medication

5. Ask the dementia specialist to first develop rapport with your elder to gain confidence. Ask him to then mention that he is trying a new medication on his patients and that they all seem to be doing better. Have him offer some "free" samples if your elder will help him with an important "study" being done.

This method worked so well, as my father was so eager to help the nice doctor, that we never had the problem of getting him to take medication again!
