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 is in care with late stage Alzheimer’s. Since the lockdown our daily visits were stopped and we couldn’t see her for 3 months. We were then able to make sporadic arranged visits in the gardens weather permitting under strict supervision masks etc. Those 3 months without family contact had a devastating effect on mum who withdrew into her already dark and confusing world and she was unable to speak to or acknowledge us.
