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. 

Share your lockdown reality

No visit from a doctor, only a video call. Refused our requests for you to be taken to hospital. We were told that you had a stroke and for six days you suffered. We were refused a post mortem, although a nurse at the home suggested one. You had lived with dementia for 21years but until March we were still going for walks, you had a good quality of life and at 75years old very happy. The final blow, your brain couldn’t be donated for research as planned because the laboratories were closed.
