How and who do I ask for Mom to be tested?

My Mom seems to forget the things I tell her or repeats a lot of things. Forgets dates or writes things down for the wrong date. I am worried something is wrong.

Sounds like you're getting into dementia with mom. Use this site to learn how to deal with it and diagnose it. Two things that help are "memory clocks " and a big wall calendar. These will help her keep track of the time and day and appointments.

You start by talking to her MD. Bear in mind that she may firmly deny any shortcomings in his presence. In the early stages, they are very good at "showtiming" in the doctor's office.
