Dementia care needs fixing, and it needs fixing now

Lynda never expected to have to pay for her husband’s dementia care. Now she’s urging the Government to end the injustice and help us #FixDementiaCare.

Lynda, whose husband Michael is living with vascular dementia, cared for him for 12 years until she could no longer keep him safe and he had to go into a care home. Lynda only has so much money available for Michael’s care. When that runs out she doesn’t know how she will keep him in the home.
