What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical disease that affects the brain. The nerve cells are disrupted by ‘plaques’ and ‘tangles’ that build up inside the brain. For people with Alzheimer’s, the communication between the nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should, and eventually the cells begin die.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease, so symptoms develop over several years. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include confusion, problems with speech, personality changes and difficulty making decisions.

"Very happy with the attention, thoughtfulness and real care that my mother received from all at Right at Home. Carers provided invaluable relief to my father and my parents' live-in carer as my mother's Alzheimer's-related care needs became more acute. I was also impressed with the efficiency that I encountered in dealing with them."

Supporting Clients in Worthing & Shoreham District to live well with Alzheimer’s

Although there is currently no cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, there is ongoing research into medical and drug treatments. Learn more about the research being undertaken by our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.

At Right at Home Worthing & Shoreham District we help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers in Worthing & Shoreham District know how to develop suitable care plans to manage and help slow down the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s usually starts with memory loss, as well as losing the ability to find the right words, solve problems or make decisions. As the disease progresses and memory loss, communication skills and orientation gets worse, people with Alzheimer’s disease will need some level of care during their daily lives. The level of care at home may start at just one hour a day, for reassurance, and progress into 24-hour care as the disease develops.

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?

Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. These changes can have a massive impact on everyday life, making small tasks very challenging. As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, sufferers may begin to forget appointments or lose important items, like their keys or wallet. It’s important to look out for any signs that the disease may be getting worse.

Alzheimer’s can cause difficulties not only for the person who has dementia but also those close to them. If you recognise that a family member has developed symptoms or is finding tasks are becoming more of a challenge, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Worthing & Shoreham District

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?

In short, Alzheimer’s is a specific type of dementia.

Dementia is not a singular disease itself, but rather a term used to describe a group of associated symptoms, such as memory loss and difficulty with concentration.

Whereas Alzheimer’s disease is a singular medical condition that disrupts the brain’s nerve endings and how they communicate with one another.

There are many stages of dementia with varying associated symptoms. Those with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.

At Right at Home Worthing & Shoreham District, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with us to find out more information.

How long does each stage of Alzheimer's last?

There is no certain time frame for how long it will take to progress between each stage of Alzheimer’s disease. The rate of progression depends on the person and their own medical situation.

As the disease is fairly common, there is an average for how long each stage lasts:

Stage of Alzheimer's	Average Length of Time
Early Stage (Mild)	2 - 4 Years
Middle Stage (Moderate)	2 - 10 Years
Late Stage (Severe)	1 - 3 Years

If you are unsure what to expect for each stage of Alzheimer’s, talk to your GP or a healthcare professional for advice.

Our in-home Alzheimer's care cost will all depend on the individual needs of the Client. All of our services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t give an average cost until we have discussed your care plan.
