Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dementia start with cognitive difficulties and memory issues. Patient starts forgetting things , names and places. In this case probably he is irritable because of his prolonged illness. Give him time and space . Taking him on holiday might help .let him see his friends and family at regular basis.
