that cognitive test is not an intelligence test. It tests mental deterioration characteristic of senility.

100... 93... 86... 79... I took such a test as a test for disability, and I counted down by sevens into the negative numbers.

You're right, not knowing which woman is standing on which side of you and presenting your sister as your wife represents a clear sign of loss cognitive ability and awareness. I've seen it like most middle aged people with older parents or grand parents these days. I don't question your intelligence. I question your common sense and awareness.

One of the worst days of my life was the opening day of the 2016 baseball season. I was going to watch the Detroit Tigers, then still a good team, play their first game. It was a pitching duel, which is the most intense sort of game there is. Justin Verlander pitched brilliantly, and every play mattered. My father's focus was not on the game but on getting out of the nursing home where he had to stay while his fractured hip healed. I would not take him home, because such would have been inappropriate under the circumstances. He started belittling me for failure to do so... that I was a coward disrespectful to a father who had done so much for me (he had). 

I would have been in deep trouble for elder abuse had I taken him home that day. Instead of focusing on that game he shredded me like cheddar cheese on a grater. I could not watch another televised baseball game that year.

That may have been the painkillers, but he kept deteriorating mentally.

I could see much of it -- most notably his loss of inhibitions. He became what he had never been before -- violent and abusive. Need I say more?
