The reality, right now, of visiting someone you have loved your whole life... This is crap, it has to change. I am as motivated as all of you to sort this and being CEO of @alzheimerssoc doesn't change anything for me. 💙
Times are tough for families affected by dementia. Alzheimer's Society are putting on a live, virtual Singing for the Brain session on Facebook on Thursday 30 April at 3pm to lift our spirits. 🎶 Sign up at https://t.co/VYthqxouzz
AS are adapting and innovating their support as quickly as possible to meet the needs of isolated vulnerable people with dementia. AS support line is helping to reduce the number of people dialling 111

This is a really difficult time for so many of us right now and it's particularly hard if you're affected by dementia.
If you need advice or support, please give @alzheimerssoc a call. Their Dementia Connect support line is open every day on 0333 150 3456
Social isolation is hard for all BUT some people with early dementia need to chat regularly in order to"remember my words". Imagine coming out of this having forgotten such a basic skill. 39 people requested an @alzheimerssoc call to protect their speech just last night. Done.
Rex and Selina sent this beautiful video of themselves singing We'll Meet Again to their family, to let them know they're coping well during the coronavirus lockdown. 💙
Selina, who is living with Alzheimer's disease, finds singing calming.
