Seven Stages of Lewy Body Dementia

Stage Seven

Stage seven is the last stage of Lewy body dementia. Patients tend to experience very severe cognitive decline. This period often lasts for between 1.5 and 2.5 years. The communication ability is mostly limited due to severe damage to their brain tissues. As a result, it is almost impossible to speak to other people or signal what they want. Physical systems are also affected severely. These individuals with Lewy body dementia might be unable to walk. Extensive assistance and support are needed to ensure they can do simple tasks in daily life. It is important to keep informed the healthcare provider about any health issues or changes. This can help them suggest a plan to improve the quality and slow down the progress of the condition. [7]
