What is Alzheimer’s disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a physical disease affecting 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 die.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, so symptoms develop over several years. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include confusion, speech problems, personality changes and difficulty making decisions.
Supporting Clients in Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh to live well with Alzheimer’s disease
While there is currently no cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, there is ongoing research into medical and drug treatments. Find out more about the research being undertaken by our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.
Our team of CareGivers in Brentwood 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 team knows 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 day to day lives. The level of care at home may start at just one hour a day, for reassurance, and progress into 24-hour a day care as the disease develops.
B M | Daughter of Client"The carers and office staff are excellent at what they do. They communicate very effectively and are always supportive and helpful. The app is also useful. I am confident that my mother is safer and happier as a result of the care provided by this company. The carers take time to talk to her and keep her stimulated as recommended by the memory clinic."
Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?
Alzheimer’s disease can affect a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. These changes can impact 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 signals that the condition may be progressing.
Alzheimer’s can cause challenges not only for the person who has dementia but also those close to them. If you recognise that a loved one has developed symptoms or is finding tasks are becoming a challenge, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh
Is there a difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?
The short answer is that 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 as the disease progresses.
Contact our Right at Home team in Brentwood to find out more information on our range of support services for people living with Alzheimer’s.
How long does each stage of Alzheimer's last?
Unfortunately, there is no certain timeline 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 specific 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.
