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 been a volunteer with Alzheimers Society for many years. Latterly I visited and regularly took out Maureen for an outing until such time as she had to go full time into a care home. Now not only can I not visit her but her wonderful husband, Bob who used to visit hr 3 times each day now cannot go in to see her at all. She is way beyond listening to a phone call or seeing him through a window but her condition has rapidly gone down hill She is bereft of her loving and caring family
