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 dad was sectioned in February 2020. Very poor care and lockdown mean he contracted Covid and his physical and mental state plummeted as well as his confusion and distress. By the time we were asked to find a nursing home several months later he could no longer walk, toilet himself or eat or drink himself. This disease is all about decline but it could have been slower, he could still be with us. We only got to hold his hand when he was slipping away this month. He’s gone now.
