You could try your County Office of Aging. They should be able to at least evaluate. But, to get good testing, you should see a Neurologist and have the person undergo testing to have a good diagnosis. An MRI will show any abnormalities. A EEG is also done.

I doubt if those home-services would be available, but you may try. There are two types of assessments. The first one is strictly medical (neurological and neuro-psychological). The other one is legal. The first one measures psychological functions and evaluates the integrity of the nervous system. The legal assessment is conducted by a Judge who, based on the evidence, will considers such person, legally competent or incompetent. Keep in mind that only the Court has the authority to declare mental incompetency.

A doctor can declare a person incompetent. A court only gets involved if someone is trying to get guardianship. Then, the Judge goes by the findings of the doctor or doctors in making his/her decision.
