Hello Memory loss is common in elderly and after the age of 60 years gradual decline in cognitive functions is common. The memory loss in elderly is called as Senile Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. Many medicines are available which are used in dementias. These medicines can't cure the memory loss, but they can halt or slow down the progression of memory loss. Medicines like Semantic, Donepezil are used commonly in elderly onset memory loss. Apart from medicine proper supportive care is must slow down the progression. Always keep him in a room with proper access to sunlight. Please visit a good Psychiatrist and consult about his problem. I wish him a good health. Thanks
