I don't know how long that is, but has she been tested for a UTI? My mother-in-law was showing signs of dementia also. She was admitted to the hospital, and they found she had a UTI. Once she was treated for the UTI, her dementia symptoms disappeared. This happened a few times. While a UTI can be extremely painful, older women often experience no pain from them, so they go undetected.
Also, another cause of temporary dementia is long-term hypoglycemia, sometimes seen in diabetics who are on insulin and are overly strict about their diets.
Whatever the cause, I pray that your friend can find a resolution for her problem.
