When couples disagree about medication oversight for family members

My mother-in-law lives with us and takes medications that require careful timing and food restrictions, but my partner and I have different approaches to helping her remember and follow the rules. I think we need to be more structured and vigilant, they think we're being overbearing, and meanwhile she's caught in the middle getting mixed messages about something that affects her safety.
