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 mum 93 has Alzeimers her 24hr carer who has been with her since lockdown ,is fantastic but she’s not had 1days respite for fear they will catch Covid . I’ve managed five visits but have been isolating myself ,so each visit seemed like a risk for us all , but one I needed to take all our mental health . My mum is slowly deteriorating is confused sad lonely and the money won’t last much longer Will she have to go into a home and be more isolated ,this is heartbreaking .
