A couple of my grandparents have had mental problems as they got older.

My grandmother got alzheimers and died a few years ago. This is the worst way in the world to go out.

My grandfather is 96 and has zero short term memory. You got to tell him what day it is about every 5 minutes. But the suff that happened long ago he has perfect memory of. Weird.

There is a whole range of dementia so it would be a good idea for her to see a doctor, if she is willing to do so.

If not, I don't really think there is much you can do until it gets to the point that she can't care for herself and has to have a guardian appointed.
