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.

Since March, I've had a dad shaped hole in my life. He is 58, suffering with Early on-set Alzheimer's and has missed out on more than half of my daughters life through lockdown. Loosing the dad I know, so slowly to Alzheimer's has been utterly heartbreaking but lockdown has added another level of pain. I want to be there for him, make him feel reassured, loved and to know that we are there. They are in a prison & I believe one family member should have key worker status as a matter of urgency.
