Anyone dealing with a family member with Lewy Body Dementia?

My mom had been having hallucinations for a few months and after many doctor visit they said she had lewy body disease. I've read alot but it but I don't think I am giving the right care

[posted too soon] I know that several other people on these discussion boards also are caring for someone with LBD.

Some information that might help us help you includes:
Your mother's age.
Her other symptoms (besides hallucinations).
Her living situation -- does she live alone, with you, with a spouse, etc.
Has she been given drugs? Which one(s)?
What kind of doctor is following her disease? (Neurologist, psychiatrist, etc.)

I cared for my husband with Lewy Body Dementia for ten years. I read books, attended conferences, and still belong to a support group.

What specific questions do you have about care?
