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 mother lives in a care home on the Wirral. I have not been able to see her since March. I was in hospital. I was told that she had covid-19, then she might die. We struggled for our lives together. She has always supported me with love. I want to support her. She is brave and compassionate. She was a teacher and has always cared about other people. She wants to see her family. She does not deserve this isolation and is perplexed and saddened by it. I fear it harms her.
