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

We're so sorry Mum that we haven't been able to visit you for so long. We really have tried! Unfortunately when we were allowed to visit you in your care-home room it was too late for you to know. As you're bedbound and have cataracts and impaired hearing, garden visits i-pads and phones were out of the question and window visits terrified you. We're not allowed to hold your hand and comfort you in your final hours. Please forgive us..
