What is Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s is a progressive condition that affects the brain, leading to memory loss, changes in thinking, and difficulties with daily activities. Because every person’s experience with Alzheimer’s is different, the level of support required is unique to each individual.

Depending on your needs, care may include 24-hour live-in care for complex or ongoing requirements, regular care visits at home for daily assistance, or tailored care within one of our care and nursing homes.
From personal care and rehabilitation to emotional support and companionship, we adapt our approach to ensure safety, dignity, and continuity at every stage of the condition.

Alzheimer’s care FAQs
Alzheimer’s disease is a physical illness which damages a person’s brain. This eventually causes dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia.
Though everyone will have a different experience of Alzheimer’s disease, the most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s include:
• Memory problems
• Confusion when in unfamiliar environments
• Difficulty conveying what they are trying to say
• Becoming more anxious or introverted
• Issues with planning and organisation
Dementia is not a specific condition but rather a group of related symptoms (known as a syndrome) that are associated with the ongoing decline of brain function.
Our professional care teams are trained to help support people living with dementia by our specialist training partner Training Now.
To further enhance their knowledge and experience, we have developed a Level 3 Diploma in the Principles of Dementia Care.
By undertaking this diploma, our care workers receive comprehensive training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, ensuring they are well-equipped to provide the highest standard of support.
To gain a greater, personal understanding of what life is life for those living with dementia, all our care teams undergo a one-day empathy workshop.
Though there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s, many people with the condition continue to live fulfilling lives in the they want. A healthy lifestyle, the right care and support and a safe environment can all help you live well with Alzheimer’s.
Signs of Alzheimer’s can include memory loss that affects daily life, confusion about time or place, difficulty completing familiar tasks, changes in mood or behaviour, withdrawal from social activities, and problems with communication and language.
Yes. Alzheimer’s is usually considered a disability because it affects memory, thinking, and the ability to carry out daily activities. Individuals may be entitled to support, adjustments, and benefits under disability legislation.
An Alzheimer’s care plan is a personalised plan that outlines the support a person needs based on their stage of the condition, abilities, and lifestyle. It covers daily living support, medical needs, social engagement, and emotional wellbeing. The plan is regularly reviewed and updated to meet changing needs.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s involves supporting their daily activities, maintaining routines, and providing emotional support. This can include help with personal care, meals, medication, and household tasks, as well as engaging them in activities that stimulate memory and cognitive function. Creating a safe and structured environment is also essential.
