I think my granddad has dementia, but my mom is denial about it and won't get him tested. What can I do? (link)
Some memory issues with older people can be expected but if this is a blanket problem than all you can do is state your observations. Make your case to an adult and let them handle it.

I don't know if your mother is in denial or not because I can't observe the situation. It will be difficult for her to address. Aside from what you have voiced to er it's really up to her to know when it's time to do something.

For all you know she's likely as concerned but figures the situation for now is not one that requires doctor intervention yet or completely destroying quality of life. If he can function somewhat normally that may be her reluctance to act further just yet.
