What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical condition 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 the nerve cells changes and messages don’t travel around as well as they should, and eventually certain 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.

Client and CareGiver sitting down and speaking

"The team at the Preston office of Right at Home have been an enormous support to my aunt and myself over a period of almost two years. Living some distance from my aunt has meant limited visits and initially this was a cause for concern. Over the months I came to rely on on The Right at Home staff as they would always step in to support and meet my aunts physical and emotional needs, even providing overnight care at short notice when needed. The sympathetic ear at the end of the phone has been a great comfort to me on several occasions."

Supporting Clients in Preston to live well with Alzheimer’s disease

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

At Right at Home Preston, we offer quality care and support to help Clients live well with Alzheimer's and dementia. All of our Preston-based CareGivers 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 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 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 progresses.

Contact our team in Preston to discuss your unique circumstances.

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?

Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. The condition and it's changes can have a large impact on everyday life, making small tasks increasingly 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 keep an eye on 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 more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Preston

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?

In short, Alzheimer’s is a singular type of dementia.

Dementia is not a singular condition 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 Preston, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with us to find out more information about our Alzheimer's homecare.

How long does each stage of Alzheimer's last?

Unfortunately, there is no definitive 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 Preston?

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