Diane, when about the same thing happened with my mother at the NH, it was
found that the major problem was the meds she was on.  Get advice from a
geriatric pharmachologist.  Also you need to make sure she is taking her
meds.  DO NOT take the NH's word for what is happening; observe it first
hand.  If you are the primary care-giver, you must manage the NH, as well
as your father.
