[quote=Anonymous]Do GP first to rule out anything else and then neurologist. The neuro will start with some simple cognitive tests, but for full diagnosis they will need an MRI and more intensive cognitive testing (I think it's half a day or 4 hours?). I would focus on your dad first, because you said she doesn't care about him. Does he need care himself? Can you talk to him? If he is relying on her for care she might not be able to do it anymore, and maybe that is compounding everything. Also make sure their estate planning is done and solid. You want to do that before she has a diagnosis: AMDs, POAs, wills or trusts depending on things. [/quote]
