This is also a fiqh question. The questioner says that his grandfather is old and that his consciousness is sometimes present and sometimes absent. He asks whether prayer, ritual purity, and similar acts of worship are obligatory for him when his consciousness is present?
Answer:
He should be reminded of this, and he should pray according to his ability.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] [At-Taghabun 64:16] He should be reminded.

May Allah reward you.
