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

Dear Mike We haven’t hugged each other since March. Because of frequent lockdowns we have seen each other Very rarely, behind a closed widow or a screen. You were once fit and walked miles, now you can barely totter. You are still cheerful, but sometimes while we are Skyping and laughing, tears roll down your face. You don’t focus your attention very well sometimes. I want key worker status so I can be with you now and not just on your deathbed. YourLoving wife Anne
