What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical disease that affects the brain. The nerve cells are disrupted by ‘plaques’ and ‘tangles’ that develops inside the brain. For people with Alzheimer’s, the communication between the nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should, and eventually the brain cells begin to die.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive condition. This means 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 Exeter and Exmouth to live well with Alzheimer’s 

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 our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.

Right at Home Exeter and Exmouth continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our CareGivers in Exeter and Exmouth complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers are confident in developing personalised care plans to manage and even 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 and memory loss, communication skills and orientation gets worse, people with Alzheimer’s disease will need some level of care during their day to day lives. The suitable level of care at home may start at just one hour a day, for reassurance. However, over time, this may 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. These changes 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 look out for any signals that the condition may be worsening.  

Alzheimer’s can cause difficulties not only for the person who has dementia but also for 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 doctor.
