From what I've read, diet, exercise, and mental stimulation are all key.
Other things I've read but aren't doctor prescribed for mental decline:
Viagra - it helps bloodflow to the brain. (All the extra sex won't hurt either)
GLP-1's - help fight brain plauqes.
Personally, I'd hold off on the GLP 1's until it's widely available in generic pill form, and more vetting has been done on it.
Viagra? Go wild man.

Is he on Statins?
A lot of Doctors claim that there is a link between Statins & an increased risk of Dementia.
Dr .Ken Berry being one of many

dementia
such a strange and somewhat fascinating disease.
about six months before my dad passed from it we were discussing issues i was having with my wife’s car.
we’re talking about how much boost we should be getting from the turbo, what lines and hoses to check, etc.
while he walking around the living explaining this “new contraption we bought for when you have to piss. i don’t know where your mom put it and i have t quite figured out how it works just yet”.
he was talking about the toilet.
the same toilet that has been in the same place in that same house since at least 1983 when we moved into that house.
perfectly understood the boost from the twin turbos in a 20202 Ford Fusion.
a toilet was a baffling piece of engineering that blew his mind.

Go to the library, borrow books.
Things you need to know about
Inflammation and how it affects the aging human body
Autophagy and how your body can recycle parts of cells, remake them and improve your body at a cellular level.
Keto and why a lot of people are changing what they eat and when they eat it.
You might want to join him in some changes,
I've gone through a lot of this when one doctor told me I was prediabetic and the next day a different doctor told me I had Diabetes 2 and prescribed five pills to take every day.
I went to the library and I got books and started reading. I stopped taking the pill cocktail at day 17.
I changed what I ate, I lost pounds, I kept reading. I saw my blood glucose drop. I kept reading and doing. My blood sugar hasn't been prediabetic since December. My A1C has been 4.1, 4.2.5.2 for the most recent three month interval tests.
Also read about fasting. One of the sharpest minded men my husband knows in his car club is 92 years old. My fasting was mentioned by my husband and the old gentleman started telling him how great fasting was and how he's been doing it for decades. That got my DH's attention more than my periodic fasting this year.

If you believe you’re going to get old, it will come true. Conciseness creates reality, it’s up to you if you want a decline of cognitive function.

Take him to a neurologist and follow his advice.

Meta analysis of hearing loss and dementia
Any hearing loss? Worth getting a hearing test, considering hearing aids if indicated.
More and more data linking hearing loss and cognitive decline/dementia.

For the elderly 70 and over, about 50% of the medical treatment is pure quackery based on running the $ with mri's and maintenance visits.

In addition to the good advice in the thread, if you're in BR, look into what Dr. Jeff Keller is doing at Pennington. There may be trials or something more to learn from his local research.

I hate to break it to y'all, a friend is a neurologist, he told me that the brain isn't a muscle, exercising it does not make it stronger. The good news is on the pharmaceutical side, new drugs are proving to be very useful in delaying decline.
Enjoy your crossword puzzles.

Read books, stay active, do puzzles and thinking activities. Learn history and something new. Take Lion’s Mane supplements. Supposed to help with that.

Reading, video games or something that uses your spatial thinking
