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

Since your day care and the clubs we attended closed down in February you have drifted further and further away from me. You don’t talk, you hardly smile, there’s no interaction at all, you shuffle about like a little old man. You don’t even react to our grandchildren and they were your buddies.I’d already lost a lot of you to dementia but now I’m losing myself too. Not to dementia but to loneliness and isolation. I still love you but I don’t know how much longer I can carry on. I miss you 💔
