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 mum has Alzheimers and is in a care home. Once again they have shut their doors to visitors.Mum’s dementia has gotten worse and she now struggles to find words.Skype and phone calls do not work. We need a way to continue that all important contact.To add insult to injury the care home have put their fees up twice this year the second time blaming COVID, mum now pays £1050 a week! The situation needs addressing. Please do something!
