This could be side effects of medication, she could have had a mini-stroke - there are many things this could be, but she needs a good physical and likely she'll need to be evaluated for dementia of some type. Good luck. I know this is scary, but new medications are helping many people slow the slide into dementia. Early diagnosis is important.
