Is it part of dementia to have hallucinations? My family member with “moderate dementia “ called yesterday afraid of people in her house talking and later saying that they left a little girl with her and she’d been playing with her a long time. This morning there is no mention of this episode.

Yes, it is a part of many and some are almost never without them. Lewy's dementia is notorious for hallucinations that are very realistic, often described as dreams while awake, often very well described by the person. Parkinson's also.

This is something for you to discuss with the MD.
There is also a wealth of information online by your typing into any search engine "Dementia and Hallucinations".
