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 March I have seen my mum 3 times all in the garden of her care home.The last time was on the 9th of August her birthday when she was sat on the other side of a wall.Why can't my Dad have visiting rites,like a key worker be tested for covid on a regular basis.Its inhumane to keep people locked away from there loved ones.Protecting the body but destroying the mind even more of a person with dementia.As a family are mental health is suffering.Please let us be reunited before it's to late
