In-Service Topic "Lewy Body Dementia"
Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is a less well-known relative than its dementia counterparts, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, LBD affects 1.3 million people and accounts for approximately 20% of all dementia cases, so education on this disease is truly essential. Through the examination of a case study, caregivers will take a person-centered look at the effects of the disease on an entire family. Caregivers will come away understanding the following:

• LBD symptoms and disease process
• How LBD forms in the brain
• Understanding how to holistically support those living with LBD and their families
• Medication options for those with LBD and how they work
• Non-pharmaceutical treatment options for LBD
