Most importantly, your family is dealing with this now, at the onset. My father-in-law did not and his wife's "memory loss" has progressed into what is obviously Alzeimers. It's beyond the initial stages and he still refuses to get professional help. When he brings it up she isn't receptive to it (she doesn't think she has a problem though her actions speak otherwise) . I would suggest, even if you have to lie to him, get him to his family doctor and let the doctor know what's been going on. The last thing you want is for your father to hurt himself or someone else. But let a professional determine what's going on and what can be done.
