Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with cognitive, motor, sleep, and behavioral symptoms. Because these symptoms are similar to those of Alzheimerâs and Parkinsonâs disease, it can take some time to correctly diagnose LBD.f individuals need care for other health problems that are not related to their terminal illness, then this care is not paid for out of the hospice payment but is covered by their regular Medicare benefit.
What is Lewy body dementia? Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a progressive disease involving abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. The deposits are called Lewy bodies and are named after Friedrich H. Lewy, the scientist who discovered them. LBD is a term that covers two conditions that have similar symptoms. One is dementia with Lewy bodies, and the other is Parkinsonâs disease dementia. Lewy bodies grow in nerve cells in the brain that affect motor control and thinking. When you think of dementia, the first thing that comes to mind might be Alzheimerâs disease.
