I am looking for anyone who can give me some concrete steps to follow to get some help for my father. I have been reading and the only reason I am leaning toward the fact that it some form of dementia is because my grandfather also had it a few years ago. My dad is almost 68 years old and has been pretty healthy up until this point. About 3 years ago now my dad's brother, mother and father all died within about 9 months of each other. I know that since then my dad has had a really hard time dealing but he has not gotten better only worse. He began repeating questions and now when we talk we just talk in circles for however long we are talking. My biggest worry is that last time I was home trying to snoop through some of his things to see if he was taking care of business I found his savings account statement had a name added to it which belong to my father's lady friend. Anyone who knows my father knows he would never do that. He is way too private about his money affairs. He is pretty generous sometimes but never would I who is the closest person to him be aloud to see papers like that unless under extreme circumstances. Long story short I am afraid that when we really need the money for my dad it won't be there for him. He won't go to the doctor and when he does he won't go for any continued tested that they are requesting for him. He can't find papers. He owns property but I don't even know if bills are being paid because he never is at home any more. She has made no attempt to contact my brother or I and it wasn't until I got home this past November that I realized just how bad he had gotten. He forgets to eat. You can't send him to the store because he never remembers why he is there. I am heart broken but whenever I bring it up he just has a fit and tells me there is nothing wrong with him. But if I call him back in 10 minutes he barely remembers we talked if he remembers at all. Help me please tell me there is something we can do beside waiting for everything to fall apart.
Thank you
