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 cared for my mum who had dementia. She died just before the covid outbreak. I often think of how I would have coped in terms of "shielding" her. Also how I would have coped with my own well being which, at the time of her death, was at breaking point. Covid will pass, but the repercussions of mental health as a result of lockdowns, etc will be an issue for years to come and, it seems, of no concern to our politicians.
