What is Alzheimer’s?

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 those living 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 to die.

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

"Right at Home provided significant care to my late Father in the last stages of his life and also to my Mother who has been suffering from Dementia for several years - the care package was complex and needed to be flexible ranging from domestic support (meals and shopping) to complex personal care (moving and handling). The team Right at Home provided were all absolute professionals, fully trained and experienced. Wonderful people supported by an excellent office team and care management. I highly recommend the team, if you need any form of care for a loved one and especially if the needs are complex and where you need that understanding rather rigid terms of business."

Supporting Clients in South Cheshire to live well with Alzheimer’s disease

There is ongoing research into medical treatments for Alzheimer's, though there is no known cure. Read about the research being undertaken by our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.

Whilst there is sadly no cure, Right at Home South Cheshire continues to help Clients in South Cheshire live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our local CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist South Cheshire-based CareGivers know how to develop personalised care plans to manage the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and even slow the progression of the disease.

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 day to day lives. Over time, memory loss, communication skills and orientation will get worse. The suitable level of care at home may start at just one hour a day, for reassurance. Alzheimer’s care plans may eventually progress into 24-hour a day 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. The changes associated with Dementia and Alzheimer's can have a significant 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 monitor 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 a challenge, encourage them to consult their doctor.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in South Cheshire

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. This can 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. People living with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.

At Right at Home South Cheshire, 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?

Unfortunately, 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.

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.

What is the cost of care for Alzheimer’s in South Cheshire?

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