How do you remind an elderly parent to take a prescription?
PhillysPA
You can call them at the appropriate time and remind them yourself. If this is not convenient, there are some community service organizations that provide this type of service, although they are rare. There are other reminder services including Medication Reminders listed in the links below which offer subscription services for the parent to enroll.

False accusation by a caregiver of elderly abuse by another caregiver?
Elderly abuse is on the rise and even in some cases in some nursing homes or in the elderly person's home or if they are staying with one of their children. One must prove that the accused caregiver is actually abusing the elderly person. Some people use video cameras if they have hired a caregiver to come in an look after an elderly parent and in some cases children of the elderly who have a parent in a nursing home and suspected abuse have used video taping to catch the nurses involved actually abusing their parent. This is more common than some people realize, but there are good nursing homes. Taking care of the elderly is a daunting deed and some elderly people (due to no fault of their own) can be become stubborn such as not wanting to eat; not taking their medications; going to therapy; going to the doctors, etc. This can make an untrained caregiver very frustrated and if it continues for a long period of time there is more risk that the untrained caregiver may abuse of an elderly parent. The best one can do is to work on finding a safe place such as a nursing home or a trained caregiver to take over this difficult task of meeting the elderly person's needs. The elderly often have one or more health issues and they can be childlike in manner and many have Alzheimer's and cannot help themselves and are not responsible for what they say or do, so, to abuse the elderly is just as disgusting as abusing a child. If one can not prove the elderly is abused and if it is their parent or a relatives parents or even a friends parent then it is a good idea to discuss with the caregiver of their parent that it is time to get in a professional caregiver or their parent needs to be in a nursing home. If a caregiver is falsely accused then they can set up their own video camera so their duties will be monitored. One has to prove that caregiver has abused that elderly person. It would also be wise to seek legal counsel.

When should you consider home care for your elderly parent?
you should consider home care for an elderly parent when you and they decide that they can no longer cope on their own. If you think your parent is struggling to take care of them selves you should sit and discuss the matter with them and see how they feel about it as well. There are many options to consider, when you realize your elderly parent is no longer able to live alone. What you choose depends on your particular situation and what problems your elderly parent is experiencing. Minor problems with chores can be solved by an in-home caregiver being paid to come by for an hour or so a day. Minor mobility issues can be solved by renovating your parents house to make it more accessible. If you are worried about a fall, a medical alert system can be installed in the home to make sure help is contacted if there's an emergency. If things have progressed beyond these options, perhaps you do want to think about home care. The right thing to do is to have a talk with your parent, and discuss your concerns and listen to theirs. This will be the best way to decide whether or not you think your parent can be left alone any longer.
Which non prescription drug can you take to get the same effect as 50mg of tramadol?
One study in the elderly found that tramadol 50 mg was similar in efficacy as acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine 30 mg. However acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine 30 mg can only be obtained with a prescription. Tramadol belongs in the opioid family and therefor there is no non-prescription drug that can get the same effect as Tramadol.
What kind of pet is best for a thirteen year old?
As a parent, be prepared to take care of whatever animal you choose as most 13-year olds will tire of them. Possibly start with goldfish.
