My Dad is the type who would not EVER confront her about this. He would avoid the situation as long as possible. So I know I can't ask him to get her to a Dr. He has mentioned the problem to me though. It may not be as noticable to him because he's been there the whole time and I'm sure it's been somewhat gradual. He's also not the type to recognize something like this unless it's extreme.

You're going to have to come up with some form of plan. Talk to your dad and try to get his support. Maybe he can be a mediator between your mother and your brother, should things start to get out of hand?
The three of you nee to get together, and stand together, and get her to a doctor no matter what. Explain the situation to your brother, tell him that this is a symptom of Altzheimers, and that the attacks are to be expected. I am sure that his concern for her when realises that Altzheimers is a possible factor here, will help him to keep his temper in check.
Carry her to the doctor, even if she is kicking and screaming.
