I have a friend who lives with me as a roommate helps me out greatly I'm afraid he's getting dementia or Alzheimer's. I am home 24/7.

You don't tell us your age, why you are home 24/7 and who this "roommate is" or how he/she is helping. On the face of it we know really too little to help. More information might help.
1. Why are you inside all the time; what diabilities do you have that you need help with?
2. How long has the roommate been with you?
How is the roommate paid and by whom?
3. How old are you?
How old is your roommate?
4. What signs of dementia are you seeing?
What have you discussed with roommate about this?

Just on the face of how little you have told us I suggest that if you feel yourself in a vulnerable place with all of this you call APS and ask them to visit you to see what options they suggest.

I would let his family know of your concerns and let them take things from there, as there's really not much you can do to help him since you're just his "roommate."
And since he lives with you, and not the other way around, you may have to let his family know that they need to find other living arrangements for him so you don't get stuck caring for him as he will only continue to get worse.
