Lynne C | Daughter of Client"hank you Right at Home ladies for the way you look after our mum. Mum has dementia and everyone treats her with such care it takes the worry away from the family. Mum was married for 63 years until Dad passed in 2019, she sometimes gets upset and confused as to where Dad is but you ladies comfort her. This means a lot to us as a family and makes a difference to Mum. Thank you everyone we wouldn't be without you."
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 build up 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 certain brain 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 South Trafford 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.
Right at Home South Trafford continues to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia through quality care and support. All of our South Trafford-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 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 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 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.
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 more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

FAQs about our Alzheimer’s homecare in South Trafford
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. Clients with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.
At Right at Home South Trafford, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with our team in South Trafford to find out more about 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 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.
