Hi everyone. I'm 27 and my dad is 73, for a short while now I have noticed him getting very forgetful. I was thinking it may be due to his age and just natural aging but I'm not sure and would love for some advice. So my dad is quite independent, he's the only driver out of him and my mum so he's the one to always drive, he goes places for my mum and the family etc. My mum and him have recently got a new bungalow to live in and are in the process of moving with mine and my partners help. The past week theirs been a few times I've wondered if something could be wrong, some examples are; forgetting the keys in the door twice( having to be told he's left them ) when we went to his old house to get a TV he told us he wanted the one in the dining room however upon arriving he went straight upstairs instead insisting it's the one upstairs he wants.. we get to his new bungalow and he says oh no we've got the wrong one we needed the dining room one. Which I found strange, then we went to put two tvs in the rooms and he said he wanted them swapping to different rooms, upon doing this and finishing he told us he needed to swap them but this is what we already did. Also, when he is driving I have noticed he is stopping at roundabouts for a pwriod of time when no traffic is coming, he's delayed reactions when someone is breaking infront of him etc. I had to tell him he's able to go at one roundabout because he was still looking when there was no one there, this isn't all the time just a few times now. Can anyone tell me if this sounds like normal aging? Could it be down to stress from moving? Or could it be something else?
Thanks for reading x
