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 siblings and I have been caring for our mum for 11 years, through her dementia. She has been in care for over 5 years but, after a Court case, mum is allowed to stay with me for long weekends. We have been with her almost every day for 11 years and now, due to these restrictions, we cannot even see her from the garden of the home. You must allow visiting to these vulnerable people. They need and deserve their loves, they need to know their families still care and are with them.
