Key ACA provisions that benefit people with LBD include: Cognitive assessments under Medicare Protection for pre-existing conditions Intervention for people with dementia and their caregivers Medicare and Medicaid dual coordination Medicaid expansion Funding for patient-center research on dementia

	Caregiver's Corner Many times people with dementia misunderstand or become confused. Instead of becoming frustrated with them, offer an “out” by agreeing that something was a bit tricky. This will enable them to retain their sense of independence.
