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.

Dear Mum We kept you safe & happy in your own home since being diagnosed with vascular dementia last October. We are sorry that you are now deteriorating at a fast pace due to being a prisoner in your own home. Your day centre closed, the carers no longer came, as a family we have done everything possible , but the system has failed you and for that we are truly sorry. You no longer have capacity to look after yourself safely and you no longer recognise us as your children. Sorry mum x
