P M | Son of Client"Right at Home Loughton came to the family’s rescue to provide care and support for both of our elderly parents one who has serious health issues, the other with Alzheimers. The care was provided after consultation and introduction meeting. Both parents rely on regularity and structure, this was provided by a team of carers, whose timekeeping was impeccable and the extent of duties were wide ranging. I would recommend this business for anybody else in a similar situation and thank them for their help."
What is Alzheimer’s disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a physical condition 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 nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should. Eventually certain brain cells start to die.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, so symptoms develop over several years. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include problems with speech, confusion, personality changes and difficulty making decisions.

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 get worse, people with Alzheimer’s disease will need some level of care during their day to day lives.. Alzheimer’s care plans may eventually progress into 24-hour care as the disease progresses..

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?
Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies . The condition can have a major impact on everyday life, making small tasks very challenging. As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, sufferers may start to forget appointments or lose important items, like their keys or wallet. It’s important to look out for any signals that the condition 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 challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare
What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?
In short, Alzheimer’s is a singular type of dementia.
Dementia is not a singular condition 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 specific medical condition that disrupts the brain’s nerve endings and how they communicate with one another.
There are many stages of dementia with different symptoms associated with each. Clients with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.
At Right at Home Loughton, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch withvour team in Loughton 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 individual and their own medical situation.
However, 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.

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