New to navigating this forum so this may have been asked already.
My partner is getting progressively more out of it. It may be the Sinemet he's taking for his Parkinson's, but he's called me multiple times a day saying how is he going to get home, or office or school.
He is at home all the time and has caregivers most of the day. I don't know how to reassure him he is in his own home and not stranded someplace.
You should discuss this with his doctor just to make the doctor aware of what he is experiencing.
It also sounds like his caregivers should be doing a better job as reassuring him that he is home, that he is safe and that you are at work and will be home later.
maybe if you can set a scheduled time to call him. That might reassure him that you are still available if you are needed. Maybe start with calling him 3 times then after a while 2 times. Or letting him call you 3 times then 2 times. (whatever works for your schedule)
If he is only calling when the caregivers are not there then maybe it is time to have caregivers at all times.
OR
If there is an Adult Day Program in your area get him involved with that. It will keep him occupied and he will not have time to call you. Most will pick up in the morning provide a lunch a snack and bring the participant back home in the late afternoon.

One of the side effects is confusion. Another is depression. My mom had depression and some confusion.
When my mother started taking Ativan and Seroquel she became much less agitated.
The Seroquel allowed her to sleep peacefully. Before that, she was experiencing nightmares and was exhausted during the day. Exhaustion also causes confusion.
Have you spoken with the doctor to see if meds could help with your husband’s issues?
