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

Dear Dad, I wish that we could have been with you in your last days as you struggled with Covid. You were exposed because the government encouraged hospitals to discharge Covid positive patients into care homes. We all miss you so much, especially mam who visited you everyday before the mandate went out that care homes should be closed to visitors. Even though you no longer knew who we were, we still knew you and loved you no less. We couldn't even all attend your funeral Much love
