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.

We haven’t seen you since March. We have heard your dementia getting worse and your capacity to communicate diminish. We couldn’t be with you on your 96th birthday - and now they’re telling us that our only means of seeing you will be through a Perspex screen while wearing masks. Your deafness will prevent you from hearing us and the masks might mean you won’t even know who we are. Is it worth causing you such potential distress? We don’t know what to do.
