Reply to comment by Tash11e in ELI5: Alzheimer's is dementia, but not all dementia is Alzheimer's. So what is the difference? by degobrah
My mum has parkinsons and has both visual and auditory hallucinations, plus she is super paranoid all the time.
She has the odd hour or so of clarity, but lately she's been stopping mid sentence because she cant remember words or what she's talking about.
Ive read this is late stage parkinsons but the doctors wont den or confirm this.

Look up “Parkinson’s disease dementia” and “cognitive impairment with Parkinson’s disease.” Here is a good resource to learn the basics: https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-dementia/types-of-dementia/parkinson-s-disease-dementia
Bring it up with her doctor, there may be medications and therapies she can try or a clinical trial she can enroll in!
