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 mum is in a care home with dementia. I hadn’t seen my mum since March due to lockdown. Then in June mum had a fall and badly broke her hip. She was in hospital for nearly a week and then returned back to the home. After being home for about a week they phoned to say mum had become unresponsive and they had put her on the Pathway. We were allowed to go and see her. When mum saw us she became responsive again and so I was asked to leave again.
