Frequently asked questions
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.
