My mum and Dad

05/11/2020

My mum has Alzheimers, but because she still functions well day to day, she doesn´t need any external care. Instead my dad cares for her. They manage quite well together, but lockdowns are taking their toll, particularly on my dad´s mental health as he tries to care for my mum without the additional support that I would be able to provide by visiting. More consideration needs to be given to enabling support bubbles to be formed with vulnerable households with more than one adult.
