Hello shumate,
Please, ask your father's psychiatrist. I can't advise you, this is a medical question about specific treatment. That said, you need to know that certain antipsychotics have warnings that they shouldn't be prescribed in patients with dementia-related psychosis because of the increased risk of death compared to placebo. You won't know if Haldol is one of them unless you ask the pdoc. And quite simply, I don't know the answer to your question. Put your mind at ease by asking the professional who is treating your doctor.
Best,
Chris
