L O | Wife of Client"I cannot speak highly enough for the care that was given to my husband for the duration that we used Right at Home Mid Hampshire. Our carer was professional, informative, and got on very well with my husband, which made things much easier for my husband and myself. I can only speak about part-time regular care, but the organisation itself kept in constant touch and were happy to accommodate my need for extra care as and when needed."
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 build up inside the brain. For people with Alzheimer’s, the communication between nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should. Eventually the cells 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, difficulty making decisions and personality changes.
Supporting Clients in Mid Hampshire to live well with Alzheimer’s disease
Although there is currently no cure for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, there is ongoing research into medical and drug treatments. 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 partner: Alzheimer’s Society.
At Right at Home Mid Hampshire, we offer quality care and support to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia. All of our Mid Hampshire-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers know how to develop personalised 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 necessarily 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 a day care as the disease develops..

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 . 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 monitor any signals that the condition may be getting worse.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare
What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?
In short, Alzheimer’s is a singular 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. People with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.
At Right at Home Mid Hampshire, 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?
Unfortunately , 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.
What is the cost of care for Alzheimer’s?
Our in-home Alzheimer's care cost will all depend on the individual needs of the Client. All of our services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t give an average cost until we have discussed your care plan.
