Hi Everyone
Have posted a couple of times and got some great advice now I need some more.
My 86 year old father has now got a definate diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia. He was taken into a mental health assessment unit on Thursday last week and he seems to be going downhill fast. He alternates from thinking he is in a funeral parlour. crematorium or a hotel. He doesn't want to eat and is still seeing the imaginary people he was seeing in his own home.
Can anyone tell me if this particular dementia is more rapid than others and although I know there is no definative answer what can I expect to happen in the future. I just think that only other people in the same situation as me can really give me any answers.
Thanks for listening
Christine
