Stages of Lewy Body Disease

In Lewy body disease, mental function gets worse over time. Increasing levels of supervision may be required as someone's condition grows worse.^[12] With increasing forgetfulness, it will be important to be present to provide assistance and reassurance. Initially, simple reminders to take medicine or warnings to prevent injury may be all that is necessary. Eventually, it may be necessary to lock doors to prevent wandering or limit access to appliances if injury is likely. Let your neighbors know if a family member is likely to wander. You may also want to notify the local police.
