Daughter has called police twice recently to report imagined problems. Not malicious but OCD? [View all]

She lives in long-term care facility and has had her personal phone taken away & replaced with house phone.
She is 60, takes several meds for various problems, including anxiety and poor sleep. (undiagnosed/untreated apnea.)

What is the treatment for this problem, which is likely not uncommon, i.e., known to police depts. and to care facilities?

(She sees an empty baby stroller and interprets that as a kidnapping, for instance, or sees something she perceives to be an auto accident & reports it, but no real prblem exists.)
