Our lovely Dad

20/10/2020

Our lovely Dad has Alzheimers & is also profoundly deaf, which is very isolating for him. He has been cared for in a residential home for the last 3 years. We used to visit Dad regularly. However during lockdown we were unable to see him for over 4 months. We have noticed a deterioration in Dad since lockdown and believe that being unable to see any of his family was detrimental to his wellbeing. Even now we can only see him for 20 mins every 2 weeks. He deserves so much more than this!
