HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Her doctor can do a mental status examination called mini mental status examination.
It is scored out of 30. It is a quick questionnaire that can be applied by any doctor to assess her mental state and determine if she is exhibiting signs and symptoms of dementia.
This can be accompanied by blood tests to rule out an organic cause.
I hope this helps
