Can Prolixin, Aricept,namenda, Seroquel Tablets Be Crushed And Consumed With Apple Suace?

My father has recently been prescribed prolixin (tid), aricept, namenda (bid), klonopin (at bedtime), and seroquel (at bedtime). I was wondering if the morning pills (prolixin, aricept, namenda) and the evening pills (klonopin, seroquel, namenda, and prolixin) could be crushed and put in apple sauce... he sometimes refuses to swallow his pills because of his dementia. Thank you!
