Most probable diagnosis would be dementia.
Const a doctor in person, do all the necessary investigations need to be done to rule out reversible causes of dementia.
Also subtype your dementia by evaluation and brain scans.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed you can manage accordingly.
If its irreversible dementia you should start learning about her behaviours and handle them. Join demcare groups online.
