My Mother is in Assisted Living. She thinks Black Pepper are Bugs in her food. Any suggestions?

Some facilities give you choices of what to eat. Let her order a sandwich if she won’t eat a meal with black specs.

The facilities I have visited always offer a sandwich as an alternative meal.

Or see if facility will start using white pepper for lighter colored foods.

Your profile is blank, but if she lives in a facility, speak with the dietician and tell them not to put pepper in Mom’s food. What she is seeing is real to her. If she is at home, check her food before you serve it and remove any burned bits.
