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.

Mum i really miss spending time with you. I'm praying you don't die alone without family around you. I wish I could see you and give you some comfort and stimulation. What is going to happen? For months we haven't been able to see you? How long is this going to continue? I have video called you but what use is that if you are blind and partially deaf. There wasn't even a member of staff to hold the phone by your ear so you could hear me. No one to cut your fingernails or do your hair.
