We stand against isolation measures applied to people with #Dementia.
Our reasons in this letter, where we cite essential work from @LTCcovid @AdelinaCoHe @leefay_low @leverefamily @Gill_Livingston & @WHO. @alzheimerssoc @JohnCampaign @drcionucl @UCLIoN
People with dementia live with progressive cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms that make them particularly vulnerable to isolation and emotional distress.
@Aida_Suarez_ and @julesstorr argue this made visitor bans to care homes unnecessary and cruel
