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, communication between the nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should, and eventually certain cells begin to die.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, meaning symptoms develop over several years. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include difficulty making decisions, confusion, problems with speech and personality changes.

Supporting Clients in Maidenhead to live well with Alzheimer’s disease
Sadly there is currently no cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. However, there is ongoing research into medical and drug treatments. Read about the research being undertaken by our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.
At Right at Home Maidenhead, we offer quality care and support to help Clients live well with Alzheimer's. All of our CareGivers in Maidenhead complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers are confident in developing personalised 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 people with Alzheimer’s disease will need some level of care during their day to day lives. Over time, memory loss, communication skills and orientation will get worse. The level of necessary care at home may start at just one hour a day, for reassurance, and 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. Dementia and Alzheimer's can have a major impact on everyday life, making small tasks increasingly 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 more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Maidenhead
What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?
In short, Alzheimer’s is a specific type of dementia.
Dementia is not a specific disease itself, but rather a term used to describe a group of associated symptoms. These include 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. Those with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.
At Right at Home Maidenhead, 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 exact 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 unique medical situation.
However, as the disease is fairly common, we can estimate 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 vary depending on the individual needs of the Client. All of our Maidenhead-based homecare services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t offer an average cost until we have discussed your unique care plan.
