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.

Mum was diagnosed with both vascular dementia and Alzheimers just before lockdown #1. As my (not so useful) Sister moved in Mum can remain in her bungalow HOWEVER Mum isn’t encouraged to keep an active mind, nor to appropriately observe day/night as they don’t dress and get up so late that meal times are all over the place. Luckily I’m the financial POA as I alone can safeguard it!!! Now with lockdown 3 I can’t go round. Nothing I say makes any difference so Mum’s going downhill.
