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.

My lovely Mum

My lovely Mum was forced to moved from a care home where she had been for 2years, to a new nursing home where she knows no one. She was all alone in the journey and doesn’t understand why I cannot see her for more than ½ hour every 10 days. I visit outside come rain come shine. She sits inside begging me to come in. A carer monitors our visit. We cannot have a private conversation. When am I going to get carer status and be able to look after her before she dies of a broken heart.
