I am glad that you got the guardianship. It is so helpful. Some doctors don't seem to like to do it all for the elderly. Even when it comes to cancer, they also ask if you want to wait and see! (My Dad is going to have operation to remove his early stage cancer from his kidney. The doc. also gave him the option of waiting.)   I thought the neurologist or psychiatrist can make good diagnosis for your Dad. Money is certainly some issue that bothers my father-in-law also. We no longer talk about money. The last time one young caregiver talked to him about wanting money and we fired her. My FIL's elder son also asked for money up to 2008. We finally hinted that no one mentions money to my FIL. I think however the illusion may not have to do with money. He is just confused overall, money or chemical. For my FIL, along with the money situation, he was still confused with the water and so on.   I was told that a new environment also makes the person more confused. I hope he will get used to his new place. You are such a good daughter for him!   Nina
