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 disease, which 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.

"My experience with Right at Home has been wonderful. This is a good, responsible, honest company. I looked at the website and I can say that the expressions there are correct and true. My calls are all professionally staffed by an above-and-beyond competent management team. I feel very safe with Right at Home so I am more relaxed and able. I have a young family and Right at Home here dealt with us very well indeed."

Supporting Clients in Sefton and Crosby to live well with Alzheimer’s disease

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

Whilst there is sadly no cure, Right at Home Sefton and Crosby continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our Sefton and Crosby-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 help 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. The level of care at home may start at just one hour a day, for reassurance. Alzheimer's care plans can eventually progress into 24-hour care as the disease deteriorates.

Contact our team in Sefton and Crosby to discuss your unique situation.

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?

Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. The condition can have a major impact on everyday life, making small tasks very 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 becoming a challenge, encourage them to consult their GP.

DID YOU KNOW? There are an estimated 4,193 people over 65 living with dementia in Sefton and that number is expected to rise to 6438 by 2030.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in Sefton and Crosby

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?

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

Dementia is not a singular disease itself, but rather a term used to describe a group of associated symptoms. This can 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 Sefton, 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.

How long does each stage of Alzheimer's last?

Unfortunately, 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 person and their own unique medical situation.

However, as the disease is fairly common, we can estimate 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 Sefton and Crosby?

Our in-home Alzheimer's care cost will all depend on the individual needs of the Client. All of our Sefton and Crosby-based homecare services are tailored to your needs, so we can’t give an average cost until we have discussed your personalised care plan.
