"Do you remember about the virus being out there?"
Living with dementia during the coronavirus pandemic
STAY ALERT for this special edition of the podcast, with hosts Grace Stead and Peggy Walker.
If you can't visit someone with dementia because of coronavirus will they forget you? And how worried should you be if someone you love is in a care home right now?
Talking to James McKillop from Glasgow, Scotland who has had dementia for more than 20 years. They discuss social distancing, remembering to wash your hands, and using technology to keep in touch with friends around the world. (And in 2020 as a way to keep your distance from people just down the road...)
Warning: this podcast contains jokes from James, who says a sense of humour is a good way to face dementia.
