What is Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the brain. It is characterised by the development of 'plaques' and 'tangles' within the brain, which disrupt communication between nerve cells. This disruption leads to symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and difficulties with speech and decision-making.
As the disease progresses, these symptoms become more severe, eventually affecting a person's ability to carry out daily activities. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, but various treatments and support services can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life.
At Right at Home Cheshire East, we are committed to providing comprehensive care and support for individuals with Alzheimer's, helping them navigate the challenges of this condition with dignity and compassion.

Why is Alzheimer's Disease Care Important?
Alzheimer's disease can significantly impact a person's daily life, making even simple tasks challenging. It's crucial to provide the right level of care to help manage these difficulties and maintain a good quality of life.
As the disease progresses, individuals may experience increased memory loss, confusion, and changes in behaviour. These symptoms can be distressing for both the person with Alzheimer's and their loved ones. Providing appropriate care can help alleviate some of these challenges and offer much-needed support to families.

Brother of Client |""My wife and I have struggled with my brother over a 6-month period coping with his dementia, reaching a point of exhaustion (we are 78-years-old). Two days before lockdown, we contacted Right at Home and signed for them to visit my brother on a daily basis. They have been absolutely fantastic in respect to their organisation and an amazing group of carers. We were able to relax knowing that Right at Home has taken some of the pressure and responsibility off our shoulders. An absolutely brilliant organisation - would recommend them very highly.”"
