My wife (70, 3 years past Alzheimer’s diagnosis) has hallucinations and tells the non-existent people to get out of her room. She also worries about “the babies” that need our help. I reassure her we are taking care of them. I am looking for a better solution. A friend recommended CBD gummies.

My mother was obsessed about babies also when her dementia was advanced. Ativan .5mg did help her. CBD without THC did nothing to calm her down and her memory care AL did not allow THC products to be administered. I think the gummies ARE helpful to reduce agitation in general, if your wife's MC allows them. Fivecbd.com sells them online and ships all over the USA.
Best of luck to you.
Have you tried giving her a stuffed animal or doll so she can fret less about her "baby"? My Aunt's baby was a rainbow colored stuffed llama. It doesn't need to be realistic.
I agree with JoAnn29 about discussing meds for anxiety. She is not able to bring herself to a calm state and she can't process reason or logic, so meds are a good solution if the right ones in the right dosage and combination are found.
Also you profile says you're looking into AL for "when the time comes" but please understand she will probably need MC at that point. I wish you peace in your heart on this journey.
