@betsyp Hello and welcome to the Parkinson's discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect,
I am sorry to hear of your dad's recent diagnosis of PD as well as his current problem with mild delusions. It must be heartbreaking not to be able to be with him at this time.
If you are comfortable sharing more, could you share what symptoms led to your dad's diagnosis of PD at age 88? Was it walking problems, falls, speech, etc.? Is he currently taking carbidopa/levodopa?
