dementia

I'm a longterm Lemon Fool user, but I would prefer to remain anonymous, so I'm posting under a new username.
My partner, who is in their late seventies, is showing signs of dementia:
* they get confused about dates
* they get confused about where things are kept
* they repeat a question which has just been answered
* they get confused about finances: bank accounts, savings accounts, credit card statements
* etc
They won't admit that they have a problem, and they certainly don't want to go and talk to the GP about it.
I'm wondering what, if anything, would be the best thing to do?
