What Causes Loss Of Memory In Doing Simple Regular Tasks?

My Wife is having a problem with memory some are simple like words and dates, others like forgetting how to write a check, forget to write checks for groups of bills. This problem is getting worse. She is 82 and her doctor does not see it as a problem, but she does. Is there another doctor skill other then a GP that we can consult
