Inspirational Dementia Care Consulting (IDC)
Three books on living with dementia books for family and caregivers by Rosemary Dunne.
http://www3.telus.net/IDCconsulting

Extractions: Released in June 1999. A book for professional care givers with tips and models of approach to enhance everyone's interaction with those living with dementia. Use this terrific resource to help plan programs, develop a "social meals program", enhance socialization and learn how others have created a community within the special care environment. Rosemary Dunne presents another fine work in her easy to read style. Contributor, Barbara Moffatt, lends her experiences, stories and resident reflections to help make this book as insightful and proactive as Discovering Adventure in Special Care. This is the story of one family's journey through their parents' Alzheimer experience... When Vera Orr disappears out of the blue, 38 hours pass before she is brought home. She is completely unaware of the enormous search and terrible trial everyone has been through. Vera simply says to her daughter "you look tired, let me get you something to eat." This is a wonderful collection of stories told with humour and love reflecting upon their experience. This is the story of one family as they discovered their matriarch had probably been covering up for several years before they joined her remaining eleven-year journey. A captivating story for every caregiver to learn from and enjoy.

After John Haloran dies of a heart-attack, his wife Louise dumps his body in the lake and then pretends that he has returned to New York, needing to maintain the pretence that he is alive in order to claim the family inheritance. She then begins an elaborate ruse to convince Lady Haloran that the late daughter is still alive and trying to communicate with her. But her deception is discovered and Louise is decapitated by an axe-wielding killer, who then proceeds to start killing the rest of the family.

NINDS Dementia With Lewy Bodies Information Page
dementia With Lewy Bodies information sheet compiled by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). What is dementia With Lewy Bodies?
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/dementiawithlewybodies_doc

Extractions: Scientists continue to search for a specific course of therapy for people with dementia with Lewy bodies. Treatment is symptomatic, often involving the use of medication to control the parkinsonian and psychiatric symptoms. However, patients should be aware that antiparkinsonian medication that may help to reduce tremor and loss of muscle movement may actually worsen such symptoms as hallucinations and delusions. Similarly, neuroleptic drugs prescribed for psychiatric symptoms may in fact markedly worsen the movement symptoms. In general atypical antipsychotic medications are more successful than older drugs such as haloperidol. What is the prognosis?
