Hello! Regarding the fact that depression in the elderly can be mistaken for dementia, I suggest you to take your father to medical examinations. Only on this way you can be sure if he has dementia or not. This is very touchy subject and it is not grateful to talk about symptoms and other things. Only doctor can give you answer on this question after done medical exam.
