| 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."
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 develop 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, so 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 Cheshire East 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 Cheshire East continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our Cheshire East-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers are confident in developing 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 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 deteriorates.

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 profound 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 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 Cheshire East
What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?
In short, 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. These conditions include 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 Cheshire East, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please contact us to find out more about Alzheimer’s homecare.
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 Alzheimer’s 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.
