Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that your father is having problems with memory. This is a very common problem and is a difficult problem to manage. In my practice I see this problem frequently. I treat initial patient with memory with Aricept and then followed by Namenda in a few years. These medications help but they do not cure the problem.
For non medical treatments it maybe useful for your dad to actual take with him a diary or journal and have the clerk write down which stores he just visited and what purchased. Perhaps keeping the receipt from the store will also help him remember his trips.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your concerns.
