My wife (PWD) is suffering from hallucinations. i believe this is a legacy from a bad experience at a care home earlier this year. Every day she says 'they' are waiting for me and will get me as soon as I (me) go out, even into the garden. Also everything that goes wrong is 'their' fault. For example an accident in the loo is because these people, mainly women, made her do it. They stick her head down the toilet and threaten her. Apparently they are always telling her 'we're going to get you'. In a rare moment of calmness she admitted she is always scared. I have given this feedback to the wonderful caring people at 'Living with dementia' and they say it is possible to control hallucinations so she is not scared. An appointment with a specialist doctor has been made.
Meanwhile may I ask if anyone has had experienced this, what did they do to manage it and can anyone offer any advice or guidance?
Many thanks.
