Freda was diagnosed dementia 2 years ago and was coping quite well, but after lockdown and not being able to socialise at the gym, club or with family her memory has deteriorated, now cannot remember family members, even did not recognize her son recently, can no longer remember friends, I have created a photo album with family names with each photo. Freda cannot cope well with cooking or recipes, even has trouble using the microwave, I have made a step by step chart of what buttons to press
