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.

Dad passed away 20.06.20 after being isolated having a cough, no tests available l believe loneliness had some part in his death. Having been deaf and non verbal since childhood. Mum passed away 12.10.20 deaf from childhood so sad my mum missed my dad. Always asking when l was going into see her. She said she was depressed and in prison. Cried, asked me is it right your dad died. 💔 Both went into care home together and both have died in this horrible lonely time.Dementia & loneliness.
