Last week, I stumbled across a medical professional reference website for UK doctors. The overview of Dementia with Lewy Bodies is pretty good. These topics are addressed — pathogenesis, epidemiology, typical presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, investigations, management, medication, prognosis, and references. Though the language is technical, many within Brain Support Network will have no difficulty understanding the text.
Here’s a link to the webpage on DLB:

For the diagnostic criteria, you can see the Brain Support Network website, brainsupportnetwork.org.
The best sections are management and medication. Note in particular the list of non-pharmacological interventions.
