The reality of dementia in lockdown

The impact of coronavirus has been shattering for families affected by dementia. Urgent action must be taken to better protect people ahead of the winter.

Dedicate a message to Government to make them address the reality of lockdown for people affected by dementia.

Due to my mum having Alzheimer’s she had to go into a care home at the start of lockdown as she would not have been able to cope without support from family and carers. She moved In at the end of March and since then I have only been able to see her twice, through a glass door and for no longer than 10 minutes. It’s heartbreaking because she doesn’t understand why I cant take her out like I use to. This is not how she should be spending her twilight years.
