Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that results in the decline of brain function, affecting memory, thought processes and other mental abilities. The exact cause of this disease is still unknown, although there are a few factors which can increase your risk of developing it.
These include:
Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia, although the conditions themselves are not the same. Here are the differences between the two:
Dementia – this is a syndrome and not a disease. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that don’t have a definitive diagnosis. These symptoms will affect the mental cognitive tasks of the person who suffers with it. Dementia is an umbrella term, with Alzheimer’s disease falling under it.
Alzheimer’s disease – this is a progressive disease of the brain, gradually impairing memory and general cognitive function. A cause is yet to be determined and there is currently no cure.
The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease progresses over time, often several years. Often, these symptoms can be put down to old age, leading to misdiagnosis in older people. The rate at which symptoms progress will differ depending on the individual and their age. Alzheimer’s disease comes on in stages, including:
If you or someone you know is displaying any of these symptoms, a visit to your GP is highly advisable. Although there is no cure at present, the symptoms can be controlled depending on the stage you’re at.

Every new resident to the care home will be assessed to ensure they receive the right type of care catered to their individual needs. Following this, a care plan will be created which sets out how the staff at the home will meet those needs for a comfortable stay. Care plans are typically reviewed on a monthly basis and are updated in the event there are any changes.
This will depend on your individual financial situation and care needs. If your finances total below a certain threshold, your local authority can contribute towards your fees – this can differ between countries in the UK, so make sure you familiarise yourself with this first. There are also some benefits options available that care home residents can claim, and the NHS also provides support with nursing care fees, too.
Should residents decide to bring small items of furniture or personal belongings, we are unable to accept responsibility in the event that they are lost or damaged, unless security precautions at the home have been compromised. It is strongly recommended that you arrange suitable contents insurance if you do decide to bring such items along with you.
