Oh the joys of growing older and a laundry list of pills to take. And let's not forget just remembering to take the pills either.

Other topic: You parents do not have to take the pills they are prescribed. Of course, assuming their doctor is ethical, they should take them, but they do not HAVE to take them.  This is an important concept to keep in mind. You parents are in control of their lives, no matter how much help you are giving them their choices still remain theirs. It can be frustrating to have a parent who will not follow doctor's orders or common sense.
