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 Dad entered a care home in February after a broken hip and chronic chest infection, he could sit and chat, laugh and cuddle, 6 months later he is bed bound, asleep all the time, unable to chat or giggle, this is mainly due to lack of contact with his family, we used to see him every day, he survived a major operation and hospital borne chest infection to be locked away , we need rapid testing to enable us to visit, love giggle and cuddle again, for a lot of people it will come to late
