Mi friend father has done that, what you're saying your father has done.(He is well beside that)but it do happen.But, not with mine. (not at all actually)thank god. As i researched/and know that do happen.

My father is doing so well (knock-on-wood)praise the Lord, as he is not at the point at all now where he is hallucination going on and or confabulation of stories et.al., and he is doing well, he only take a few extra naps for 1 hr., or few minutes, then he is up and ready to go! We continue keeping him:
-ACTIVE.
-Busy.
-Talk much to him with plentiful smiles/happy memories et.al. as mommie and i,always are at the point of sharing past time great stories with him as he remember almost 100% of his childhood, teen years, early 20s etc. marriage amazing...

We simply continue to instill/make new memories,while also, to treat him the same,just as always as if nothing has circumvented, with the exception of his dementia diagnosis 1 year ago from January 2017. God bless you and us all.adios.

I can't add anything to the previous excellent comments except to address your last sentence "I fear things are going to get worse...." Things will get worse - dementia is a slow downhill path. Do talk to his MD about medications that will calm his anxiety. I can tell you anti-anxiety med helped my MIL. Whatever dose she takes now does not make her overly tired.
