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

I live alone with Young Onset Dementia, having no involved family nearby. Prior to lockdown, despite living with acquired disabilities, I lived a busy, active life, running my own Young Onset group, being an advocate and research involvement. Now my only contacts are online and my local Alzheimer's Society office has permanently closed. I continue my work online via Zoom meetings and groups, they cannot replace meeting with others in the same space, exchanging hugs. I am now on antidepressants
