My Dad 93 lived with dementia for several years. remaining at home where he longed to be supported by my mum 87 and my brother 58 and carers three times a day. All three were infected with covid 19 week before lockdown with Dad and Brother dying in the first week of April. Mum survived but getting her any support was impossible. They all had self isolated from early March but care staff either didn’t have or wouldnt wear PPE. Staff need supervision / resources, I saw much to be desired
