If so, get them help and remove them from situations that make them a danger to themselves or others.
Covering up only complicates the problem.
Only a few of these changes are needed to make a diagnosis. If there are many, or if they are severe, then the situation can be worse.
The process is progressive, and tends to escalate with age.

He has literally slowly checked off every box over the last 15 years while my mother in law has been in denial over it as has his kids. It’s sad to watch and now it appears he is having a series of strokes and mini strokes and the step sisters are in denial about that. Getting old truly sucks but it beats the alternative.
And like your situation, my FIL is in denial about the whole thing. In a period of 12 months MIL has deteriorated significantly, but FIL refuses in-home help, and won't consider assisted living. I get it - at mid-70s, might not be how you want to go with things, BUT leaving a person who forgets to turn off the stove and can't remember whether they've eaten home alone doesn't seem like a winning strategy.
By the time you realize what is going on, you end up looking back on years of crazy stuff that just never registered at the time or was excused away, and you wonder how you missed it.
It’s horrible beyond words. Sorry for you and your family…it’s the worst.
But can you see your MIL handling a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu?

stand and what to say. Not to mention his large print note cards. I guess there is a jumbotron teleprompter behind any leader Joe is propped up in front of.

an opinion piece by the ugly red head saying Joe is completely competent.
He is fully in command of his Presidency. Do you think he spends his days in the private residence being fed pureed food, while a cast of "handlers" interacts with his Cabinet, advisors, world leaders, and congressional leaders?
This is not second term Ronald Reagan.
to think he is full control. He gets led around like a lost puppy by his wife. If he's like this on camera, who the hell knows how bad it is off. You love posting links to articles so here is one from 2 years ago. You'll notice the pictures in the article show exactly what I mentioned. Does someone in control of their faculties need to be reminded where to sit and when to speak (in capitalized bold letters)? He's gotten worse each year and it shows every time he speaks publicly.
You can carry on with the Dem talking points that this empty suit is still sharp and making decisions. You're lying to yourself but if it lets you sleep at night, have at it.

It must list signs of changes that he sees in someone that he doesn’t want to be the case.
I’ll bet you a lot that he wouldn’t even read the site because he doesn’t want the knowledge.
He is being anti-science just like the anti-vaxers.
questioned to demonstrate his mental acuity. Easy peasy.

argues that we should take the word of Biden’s own inner staff instead of looking at that crazy stuff.
That is behavior of an anti science cultist…..all of the things he accused others of being.
Liberalism Rule #1.
Clinic specifically notes that alone, this is NOT a sign of dementia (read his link)...somehow, he failed to make note of that, or provide any linkage/evidence to other symptoms affecting Biden. Baron is a shameless wannabe political hack who chooses to admire Donald Trump...even though he is on record for violating virtually every ethical, moral or religious tenet that BVZ says he believes in...that is way more than "Odd"...it's bizarre.

---------------
Dementia generally involves memory loss. It's often one of the early symptoms of the condition. But having memory loss alone doesn't mean you have dementia. Memory loss can have different causes.

For a (much) more Professional assessment of Joe Biden's memory lapses, read the link I posted from Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Dr. Charan Ranganath earlier this evening.
Note also JB's concise and coherent review of the Gaza situation in which he made the error of ascribing "Mexico" as President Sisi's country instead of Egypt...it was an accurate and nuanced assessment of the current situation there...as far from 'dementia' as you can get.
Baron gave up medicine for partisan politics...he should acknowledge it.
Like maybe a softball interview before the Superbowl. Or maybe an actual news conference without prescreened questions.
Compare that to the dozens of former Trump officials. His entire national security council is pretty much unanimous.
Biden? Not one.
But I am sure that you are correct that none of Biden’s staff publicly said anything.
Stop being intellectually dishonest. And please stop throwing out illogical defenses that “his own people haven’t gone public against him so it must not be true”.

in order to praise his friend and fellow Democrat, Wes Moore...former 82nd Airborne Division Captain, who is obviously very, very fit.
Dude, your hatred of all things not Conservative is pathetic...and possibly pathological.
Don't do that easy interview because nobody employed in this administration has said that Joe's a basket case.
to reporters' shouted questions, save for a solitary "Freudian Slip" on President Sisi's title...but not his role in the Gaza crisis. There is no way a true dementia victim could participate in a high pressure, 13 minute straight press conference like Joe did.
