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 husband, aged 74 years, was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2014. Until Lockdown in March 2020 he was doing so well. He enjoyed walking, singing, socialising and a reasonably stable mental health. We were able to enjoy life to the full as advised by his Consultant. After lockdown all of this, except limited walking, was taken from him. After six months he is a shadow of his former self, constantly in need of reassurance, guidance and care in all aspects of everyday life.
