Dementia, senility, Altzeimer's all have to forgetfulness and the deteration of the brain. The part about him being paranoid about people sounds like a mental condition called Agoraphobia in which people don't want to leave their house and are fearful of the outside world and people in it. It is treatable with medication if you can get him to the doctor's. Make sure when the day comes, he doesn't try to talk you out of it. I hope you find out whats wrong but I hope it's not Altzeimer's because that disease is progressive to where you don't even recognize family member's. Good luck.

yeah alzheimers is setting in on my 82 year old mother in law along with lung and kidney cancer. This is really rough to watch and really getting to me, everyday its just eating away at her and you can see her getting weaker.
