This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

The best resources I have found for good, reliable information on Dementia with Lewy Bodies, sometimes called Lewy Bodies Dementia, is the above website (www.lbda.org) and Mayo Clinic website (www.mayoclinic.com/health/lewy-body-dementia. The www.lbda.org is the website of the Lewy Bodies Dementia Association. It is updated every two months, and it contains accurate and helpful information, as does the Mayo Clinic website. Both also offer tips for caregivers.
