My husband with dementia loses things constantly and thinks someone is stealing from him.

Thanks to all for your input. I did decide to start him on Resulti to try to help with the agitation and anger. Praying it does the trick.

This is very frustrating for you and for him. Please check with his doctor about medication that can calm him down. They may take a little time to work but keep going until something works. You don't want his anger to escalate to a point at which he might become violent with you or anyone else. I'm very sorry, I know this is rough.

Paranoia is so very common with dementia and I'm sure that you've made your housekeeper and service people all know that your husband has dementia, so I wouldn't worry about losing any of them because most people anymore have dealt with someone with dementia or are dealing with someone themselves.
Sadly it's WAY more common than any of us would like.
You can talk to your husbands doctor to see if there are any medications that might help with his paranoia.

This suspicioun and paranoia is part of dementia. His ability to use reason and logic are waning, so there's no point in arguing with him. I would try distracting and redirecting the conversation. If you can't get him off the thought I would walk away to another part of the house and give it some time to see if he forgets. You need to train the other aids in this also so that they can understand how to deal with it. Is he on any meds for agitation or anxiety or depression? If not, I would now consider this discussion with his doctor. Nothing "cures" paranoia but he may be less anxious about things he can't find.
