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 has Alzheimer’s and has been in a care home since August 2018 she is 94 and still mobile. She loved to go out a in the community and my family and I would see her regularly. She particularly liked seeing her Grandchildren and the family dogs. She also enjoyed getting her hair done, having a manicure or pedicure. All this has now been denied to her. It breaks our hearts not to be able to hug her and comfort her, to see her so forlorn. I would happily take regular tests to enable visits.
