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.

Mum contracted Covid in the residential home. Mum has mixed dementia and the virus had a disastrous effect on her neurologically but the home said it was the dementia, wouldn’t accept that the delerium was due to Covid so they evicted Mum. We were devastated and had to find another home for Mum in the middle of lockdown. Couldn’t view any homes or make an informed decision for Mum. She was thrown out like a piece of rubbish . I need to cuddle and kiss my Mum. That’s all she has left .
