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.

My husband.

My husband has been shielding at home since March, in order to keep him safe. I have been caring for him for thirty years, through Aplastic Anaemia, a brain haemorrhage, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, a mini-stroke and MS Dementia for at least eight years. He has bladder, bowel, mobility and sight problems and memory issues. I have Osteoarthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Cervical Spondylosis in my neck and spine, not helped by 24/7 caring and putting him first always.
