Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. There are many medicines which could calm the patient from anxiety. But in this case, your dad also has Parkinson and Alzheimer and must have been treated for long and therefore the other medicines used, their dosage and their interactions with the new drugs should also be considered. Therefore please work with the doctor in the nursing home. At the same time, take time to find a neurologist in the town.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
