Dementia can be recognized by symptoms such as changes in personality or behavior, memory loss, speech, and thinking skills. There is a difference between forgetting where you parked and forgetting where you live, for example. If an elderly loved one displays a persistent pattern of increased irritability or some form of bizarre behavior, like cracking jokes at a funeral, then the person probably has dementia and should be tested for it.
