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.

My partner Kevin

I saw Kevin nearly every day, all day for 5 years before lockdown in the care home who is 60 with Alzheimers. I have visited 3 times since August but he no longer knows me. He looks older and subdued and has had a few health issues. I am heartbroken and feel helpless that I cannot be with him to make him smile and feel loved and wanted.
