Does my dad have dementia or Alzheimer?

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Hello, my dad is 60. Lately he changed a lot. His judgment became very poor, he drives faster and takes some bad decisions. He also just stays home and doesnt have hobbies anymore. He also repeats things such as questions alot. He also repeats things in his speech like "I I I will.." or "okokok byebyebye". When I'm talking to him it seems like he's not paying attention& thinkibg about something else, and he always forgets where he put things like his phone or keys.
