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 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, which means that symptoms develop over several years. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include problems with speech, confusion, personality changes and difficulty making decisions.
Supporting Clients in Isle of Wight to live well with Alzheimer’s disease
There is ongoing research into medical treatments for Alzheimers, though there is no known cure. Read about the research being undertaken by one of our charity partner: Alzheimer’s Society.
Whilst there is sadly no cure, Right at Home Isle of Wight continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our Isle of Wight-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 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 and memory loss, communication skills and orientation get 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. Alzheimer’s care plans may eventually progress into 24-hour care as the disease deteriorates.

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?
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 more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.
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 look out for any signals that the condition may be getting worse.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Isle of Wight
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. 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 Isle of Wight, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with our team in Isle of Wight to find out more information.
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 individual 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.

The cost of our in-home Alzheimer's care will all vary based on the individual needs of the Client. All of our Isle of Wight-based homecare services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t give an average cost until we have discussed your care plan.
