Dad is in a Rehab Facility. He has a delusion that they are electrocuting people at night. Any advice?

Yes, assure him that you've "taken care of it", "fixed it with the supervisors"--whatever it takes to get him calm!

Have the facility test for a UTI (these can often cause delusions and psychiatric symptoms in elders) and get the geriatric psychiatrist who visits the facility to see your dad asap!

My mother’s dementia manifested itself in delusions and hallucinating as well. She had developed an abject fear of men in her later life and she hallucinated men were stalking her, coming through her walls and hiding in her closet. Oddly enough, she didn’t beg me to get her out of the place, but she did firmly believe that her hallucinations were absolutely true.

Do not take him out of the facility against medical advice. It could affect his insurance coverage. I know it’s devastating to listen to him cry and plead. But, it is the dementia. He will hallucinate no matter where he is. At least here, he is supervised and cared for around the clock. You can always speak with his doctor or the nurse and ask if there are meds he could take for anxiety.

Its the Dementia. And being in a strange place and a brain bleed probably doesn't help but makes it worse.

My dad's delusion was that shadowy government agencies were out to get him. I didn't try to convince him that it wasn't true. That's what he believed and he was scared. Instead I comforted him without agreeing with his delusion. I reassured him that as long as he had me he was safe, that I would never let anything happen to him. I reminded him that I would have never placed him in a position to be in danger and that I would take care of it so he wouldn't have to worry. And that would hold him over--until the next time when we'd start all over again.
