My Dad

24/10/2020

My father has had three mini strokes and 4 falls during lockdown and now his care home is evicting him as they cannot manage his needs without the daily 1:1 support that the family provided before lockdown. He has been rejected by 72 care homes due to his complex needs and still we get no adequate support from the health & social care system. We, like most families living with dementia desperately need help but the Government continues to ignore the health & social care crisis.
