General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks you for asking this question. I have undergone through your question. I understand your concern, but no need to worry. At the age of 93 years, dementia, confusion and irritability are very common. There is no need of any intervention. What your father needs is your love, empathy and your affection. Understand him. He has nurtured you when you were child. Now its time of your turn. Return his love & affection with love and affection. Respect him, care him. That's all, he needs.

Good luck
