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 those 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 die.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, 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.
Supporting Clients in Barnet and Edgware to live well with Alzheimer’s disease
Although there is currently no cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, there is ongoing research into medical and drug treatments. Read about the research being undertaken by our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.
Right at Home Barnet and Edgware continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our Carers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist teams 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 the symptoms worsen, people with Alzheimer’s will need some level of care during their everyday lives. The level of care at home may start at just one hour a day and progress into 24-hour a day care as the condition develops.
Samir B | Son of Client"Right At Home has provided us with wonderful CareGivers for my elderly mum, who unfortunately suffers from dementia and has mobility difficulties. Our carers are kind, helpful, understanding and very capable in their role. Since we started using Right At Home in October 2021, the Agency has been collaborative and receptive to our needs. When our circumstances have changed, Right At Home has been flexible and supportive. We recommend them wholeheartedly as a top quality Care Agency."
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 significant effect on everyday life, making small tasks very challenging. As the disease progresses, sufferers may begin to forget appointments or lose important items, like their keys or wallet. It’s crucial to look out for any signs that the condition may be getting worse.
Alzheimer’s can cause challenges not only for the person who has dementia but also their loved ones. If you recognise that a family member has developed symptoms of Alzheimer’s or is finding day to day tasks difficult, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s care in Barnet and Edgware
Is there a 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. Alzheimer’s disease instead 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.
We offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s in the Barnet and Edgware area in London. Speak to our team 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 the stages 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 expert advice.

Our in-home Alzheimer's care cost will all depend on the needs of the Client. We tailor our specialist dementia services to suit your needs, so we can’t give an average cost until we have discussed the bespoke care plan.
