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, the communication between the nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should, and 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, personality changes, problems with speech, and difficulty making decisions.

"The care that my wife has received has been excellent since we started using the company. The staff are extremely competent, caring, and friendly at every visit. They engage her in conversation throughout the visit which puts her at ease. Nothing is too much trouble for them and it has enabled me to live a more normal life. Overall I have nothing but praise for the care my wife is receiving."

Supporting Clients in North Cheshire & Leigh to live well with Alzheimer’s disease

There is ongoing research into medical treatments for Alzheimer's, though there is no known cure. Read about the research being undertaken by one of our charity partners: Alzheimer’s Society.

Whilst there is sadly no cure, Right at Home North Cheshire & Leigh continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our North Cheshire & Leigh-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers are confident in developing tailored care plans to manage the symptoms of Alzheimer’s or 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 gets worse, 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 necessary 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 disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. Dementia and Alzheimer's can have a large 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.

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 more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in North Cheshire & Leigh

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, such as 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 North Cheshire & Leigh, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with us here at Right at Home North Cheshire & Leigh to find out more information.

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 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.

What is the cost of care for Alzheimer’s in North Cheshire & Leigh?

The cost of 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.
