My co worker is 62. His mom died last month with dementia having full reign. His dad died the same way. He told me today he woke up this morning not knowing where he was.

I'm guessing he doesn't travel much.. otherwise it's not so unusual. At least he knew who he was.

He has lived his whole life in a to be generous 100 square mile radius. Is lack of travel a common symptom?

I doubt lack of travel is a common symptom/cause.

I've personally woken up not knowing where I am a few times during periods of international travel. I'm not concerned about dementia (though maybe I should be).
