I know some people who actually do this. One of their loved ones will open the Rx bottles, take out the appropriate dosages, then put the pills in a small bowl or on the counter for consumption. Then their loved one watches them take the meds to make sure they aren't squirreling them away and saving them for later.
Also: some people who are severely suicidal and have no one to monitor their meds will actually ask their doctor to have the pharmacy give partial prescriptions where you have to go every few days to pick up your meds. Yes, it is highly inconvenient, but if it works, it works. It keeps you safe, especially when hospitals right now are kinda overrun with COVID-19.
