I would have them followed by a neurologist who could monitor their behaviour and help guide the family as to how best deal with the psychotic behaviour, perhaps they could prescribe meds to help modify them as well. As a caregiver it would be crucial to understand it is the dementia making them behave that way and to be understanding and patient with their loved one.
