Charity Director at Age UK, Caroline Abrahams, told the Standard: “The findings in this study certainly ring true for us at Age UK. In response to a survey we conducted, thousands of older people told us they were finding it harder to remember things and to process new information since the start of the pandemic. Really this is exactly what we would expect, because most older people were stuck at home for long periods of time, unable to engage much with others and often largely immobile.
