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.

I have seen my Mum a handful of times since March, while i'm thankful for these few visits they have been outside and we have been behind perspex. making it virtually impossible for her to hear or see me properly . She was used to me visiting nearly every other day before lockdown , the months apart have left her lonely and confused and the decline is dramatic. She spent her life looking after her family and all i want to do is give her a big hug and look after her when she needs me the most.
