My grandfather insists he is fine but is acting very confused and disoriented and I feel like I should call an ambulance but I don’t know and I know he’d get really upset at me for it

Definitely call and a non-emergency line to report his confusion and disorientation, and get advice on potential stroke signs. try a local ER phone number, local fire department, or even his doctor’s office if you know it. Staff can help direct you on whether it is or isn’t an emergency. try this University of Michigan resource, as well. https://uofmhealthwest.org/warning-signs-of-a-stroke/

who cares if he gets upset, i’d rather he be upset at your overreaction than something is wrong and the underreaction was the problem. l
