"Right at Home Alton & Bordon provide an excellent level of care for my 94-year-old mum who has Alzheimer's. My mum, although somewhat hesitant at first at having strangers in the house, quickly bonded with them and she now looks forward to their visits. The ladies are all very happy to help with any cleaning, laundry etc., or just provide companionship, and mum was recently taken out to a local beauty spot to feed the ducks. I feel that mum is benefiting greatly from the visits as she feels less on her own when I can't be there. Everyone I have dealt with has been very helpful from the Care Manager, Carers and the Accounts department. I would not hesitate to recommend Right at Home Alton & Bordon to anyone."

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical disease that affects the brain. Nerve cells are disrupted by ‘plaques’ and ‘tangles’ that build up inside the brain. For people with Alzheimer’s, communication between nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should. Eventually the 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 confusion, problems with speech, personality changes and difficulty making decisions.

Supporting Clients in Cardiff and Newport 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 one of our charity partners: Alzheimer’s Society.

Right at Home Cardiff and Newport continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our Cardiff and Newport-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers 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, 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 required 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 develops.

Contact our team in Cardiff and Newport to discuss your unique circumstances.

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?

Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. The condition can have a large impact on everyday life, making small tasks very 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 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 GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Cardiff and Newport

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.

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

At Right at Home Cardiff and Newport, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with our team in Cardiff and Newport 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 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 Cardiff and Newport?

Our in-home Alzheimer's care cost will all depend on the individual needs of the Client. All of our Cardiff and Newport-based homecare services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t suggest an average cost until we have discussed your care plan.
