Claire G | Daughter of Client"Right at Home 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 to anyone."
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 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 Central London 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.
At Right at Home Central London, we offer quality care and support to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia. All of our Central London-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers are confident in developing tailored 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, 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 major 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 look out for 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 Central London
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. Those with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.
At Right at Home Central London, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with our team in Central London to find out more about Alzheimer’s homecare.
How long does each stage of Alzheimer's last?
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 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 Central London-based homecare services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t suggest an average cost until we have discussed your care plan.
