All he needs to do to remind himself is get one of those cheap pill cases that are labeled with days of the week and put it by his bedside. If it still has a pill in it at night, he forgot the pill for that day.

 

On the other hand, it's one thing to forget to take your medicine once in a while, but if he is forgetting that often, he probably doesn't really want to take it. That's another problem entirely, one you could broach with him.
