Dear Mrs. Churchill, Sally has Alzheimer's Disease. Her life has gradually become difficult & disturbing. Everyone is affected negatively by the Coronavirus epidemic & it is very sad situation. Those who have dementia are doubly affected. It is less easy to see friends & to keep up with family. The closure of dedicated local activities has meant a severe lessening of support. This means the sufferer is even more confined - the opposite of what is essentially needed.
