Seniors who have been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia will ultimately need around-the-clock care as the condition advances. Finding the best care for a loved one who has dementia is challenging, and it's difficult to see their condition worsen. These days, assisted living facilities are becoming more popular, and many families make the decision to place a loved one there. However, being in an unusual setting might have a negative impact on their wellbeing.

What is Lewy Body Dementia?
A large number of elderly people in the Annapolis Valley suffer from Lewy Body Dementia, the second most prevalent type of degenerative dementia. Lewy bodies, or smooth, spherical aggregates of protein, are the underlying cause of this disorder in the brain's afflicted nerve cells. With time, your loved one's symptoms may worsen, and they will need more intensive care, as is the case with many other types of dementia.
Symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia can include:
- Short and long-term memory loss
- Loss of executive function
- Confusion and agitation
- Visual hallucinations
- Mobility issues such as tremors and slowed movement
- Decreased regulation of bodily functions, including blood pressure, digestion, and sweating
- Difficulties sleeping, including physically acting out dreams
- Disorganized speech
