Hi Magdalina, This could be Alzheimer's, but she would need a diagnosis by a neurologist or some type of doctor qualified to diagnose the disease. They may want to do a brain scan to see why she is having this memory loss. But yes, short term memory loss can be a sign of Alzheimer's disease.   Her medications could also be an issue, so they should be checked in case side effects are causing problems.   There are many kinds of dementia, so diagnosis is good. There are also medications that can delay some of the decline. I'd get her in to see a specialist soon. Carol
