This COVID isolation situation has taken my mother, with dementia, away from her bridge games, weekly spa appointments (facial, pedicure, massage), yoga, and the result is somewhat alarming to me.

@neptune - the loss of those outside activities can be devastating. It is important to try and maintain some connections via telephone/video chat when possible, but that can be tough for someone with dementia. You may find it helpful to look back at the posts from this page in March, where we address some of the isolation associated with the pandemic.
