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

Message space is limited, what I would like to say doesn't fit. My dad has dementia, lockdown has been hard for him - more anxious and frustrated, more repetitive. Lockdown has also been hard for us as his family, as his carers - seeing the dramatic change in him is hard, but we've also not been able to get the respite we normally would (pre-covid), which makes our ability to remain calm and provide dad with the best care even harder. The government needs to look at help given to family carers.
