Hi,I can understand your concern for your mother's condition. Going by what you have mentioned, your mother is having cognitive decline, especially recent memories. Considering the fact that she has history of earlier brain injuries, is hypertensive, multiple factors might be inter playing resulting in her current situation. She seems to have dementia, the cause needs to be evaluated. I would suggest that you seek a neurologist consultation for her. She would require investigations in form of brain scan (MRI). Depending on her underlying cause, medications like donepezil would be helpful. In addition, cognitive remediation training should be instituted for her.I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
