Lately, my longtime papa has been having trouble getting his words out smoothly
This content is machine-translated.
He often says things like, “Umm… what was it again… umm…” before finally managing to say what he wants—sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t
He’s in his mid-60s
It wasn’t like this when we first met; he used to speak clearly and fluently
I’m worried it could be dementia or something
Do you think he’s aware of it himself?
Would bringing it up hurt his feelings?

No matter who says it, I think it would hurt him.
If your papa has a family, I feel it might be better not to say anything.
But if he doesn’t have any family, I think you should let him know. If it were a stroke or something, it could be serious...
Maybe you could first encourage him to see a doctor.
If there’s nothing wrong with his brain, he’ll probably feel relieved.

I think it would hurt them.
If they have family, perhaps their family has already pointed it out.
This may sound cold, but even if they did have dementia, we wouldn’t be able to look after them or take responsibility for them, would we?
Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
Since you want them to stay healthy for a long time, you could probably suggest something like, “Why don’t you get a full medical checkup?”
