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. 

Share your lockdown reality

My darling husband has had Alzheimer’s for five years and, until the Covid crisis, we were able to get out to visit family and friends. Unfortunately Ian was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December last year and we have been coping with hospital visits and home care (from me!) since then. The last time we saw most of the family was at New Year. Our dear daughter does her best to visit, but just sitting outside, when she can but she and her family are now under lockdown as well.
