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 husband has vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s, also limited mobility. We have no car so relied on buses to get to the local shops twice a week. I don’t feel safe on public transport now so a walk to the shops at the bottom of the road is our ‘day out’. He is often verbally abusive and physically threatening. I get little sleep but have coped for the last six years with him and running our home. I now feel we could use some outside help but it is not available.
