Are these likely signs of Lewy Body Dementia?

by Symptom Advice on May 7, 2011

My Grandpa is 77 years old and he is showing symptoms such as shuffling gait, low volume speech, frequent falls, ataxia, as well as slow but progressive cognitive function, most likely dementia. he remembers who his family is when we visit him, but has trouble concentrating and tries to leave conversations without any major explaination until my father asks him what he wants. It usually takes about 4 times asking "where are you going" until he tells us. My grandpa is in a wheelchair now. are these signs and symptoms of a likely diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia?
