What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical condition that affects the brain. Nerve cells are disrupted by ‘plaques’ and ‘tangles’ that develop 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, which means that symptoms develop over several years. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include problems with speech, personality changes, confusion and difficulty making decisions.

Supporting Clients in Bromley to live well with Alzheimer’s disease

There is ongoing research into medical treatments for Alzheimers, though there is no known cure. Learn more about the research being undertaken by one of our charity partners: Alzheimer’s Society.

Right at Home Bromley continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our Bromley-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist 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 make decisions, find the right words or solve problems. 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 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 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 profound impact on everyday life, making small tasks increasingly 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 keep an eye on any signs 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 more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Bromley

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?

In short, Alzheimer’s is a specific 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.

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 with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.

At Right at Home Bromley, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with our team in Bromley to find out more about Alzheimer’s homecare.

How long does each stage of Alzheimer's last?

Unfortunately, there is no definitive 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 Alzheimer’s is fairly common, we can anticipate an average period for each stage:

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 based on the individual needs of the Client. All of our Bromley-based homecare services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t suggest an average cost until we have discussed your care plan.
