Hi. From what you have mentioned, it seems that your father is suffering from dementia. Please consult a psychiatrist and get him evaluated. He will also be needing blood tests and brain scan to understand the reason of dementia. Treatment with medications will help slow down the decline.
Next Steps
Seek a psychiatric consultation.
