"Right at Home Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin has been providing professional care for my aunt for the past two years. In that time they have adapted the support they have given her as her needs have changed. Overall the organisation is run in a very professional manner. Over and above that the ladies who have cared for my aunt have done so with great kindness and compassion and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. "

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

Supporting Clients in Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin 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.

At Right at Home Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin, we offer quality care and support to help Clients to live well with Alzheimer’s and dementia. All of our Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin-based CareGivers complete dementia-specific training as part of their induction programme. As a result, our specialist CareGivers know how to develop tailored 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. Over time, 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 care as the disease progresses.

Why is Alzheimer’s disease care important?

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 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 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 are becoming more challenging, encourage them to consult their GP.

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. Those with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease.

At Right at Home Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin, we offer a range of support services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Please get in touch with our team in Stevenage, Letchworth and Hitchin to find out more about Alzheimer’s homecare.

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 medical situation.

However, as the disease 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.

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