Quality Alzheimer's Care for You or Your Loved One

  • Helping you to stay in your own home
  • Specialist Alzheimer’s and dementia care services
  • Fully-regulated and highly-rated homecare provider

Many of our Clients are people living with Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common type of dementia in the UK.

We support these Clients to continue to live independently at home. Our friendly and trusted team of local Carers can ensure the home environment remains safe for those living with Alzheimer’s disease. We can also advise on any adaptations that will make life easier.

We work with Clients and their loved ones to provide emotional support and respite, to access local services, and to adapt their care package to anticipate and meet changing needs. We can also incorporate 24-hour Alzheimer’s care into a specific live-in care plan for the later stages of Alzheimer’s.

Tailored Alzheimer's Disease Care: What We Offer

Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s mood, daily activities and hobbies. These changes can have a large 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 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 challenge, encourage them to consult their GP.

We work with Clients and their loved ones to provide emotional support and respite, to access local services, and to adapt their care package to anticipate and meet changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 build up 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, 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.

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 large 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 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 challenge, encourage them to consult their GP.

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.
