Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment in London
Managing Alzheimer’s effectively can make a real difference, improving daily life for both patients and their families. Early diagnosis and personalised care are key to slowing disease progression and controlling symptoms.
At Dementech Neurosciences, we provide a specialist, patient-centred approach to Alzheimer’s treatment in London, supporting thousands of families with expert guidance and tailored therapies for better outcomes and a brighter quality of life.
What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. In recent years, it has become a major focus of research and international collaboration, with an emphasis on developing treatments that target early stages of the disease.
Alzheimer’s usually affects people over the age of 65, but younger people can develop early-onset Alzheimer’s. The disease is closely linked to genetics, gender, and some medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and depression.
At Dementech Neurosciences, we offer advanced, personalised services for people living with Alzheimer’s, including biomarker assessments and genetic counselling, designed to support early detection and effective treatment. Begin your journey with us today and discover how our specialist care can help improve quality of life and manage symptoms effectively.
What are The Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, meaning symptoms develop gradually and can become more noticeable over time. Early signs are often subtle, making it challenging to recognise the condition without specialist assessment. As the disease advances, symptoms can significantly impact daily life, affecting memory, thinking, communication, and behaviour.
While there is currently no cure, early intervention and personalised treatment can make a meaningful difference in managing symptoms and maintaining quality of life. Medications, alongside specialist support, may also benefit some patients depending on their medical history. Seeking expert care gives you the best chance to manage Alzheimer’s effectively.

At Dementech, our AD experts will be able to provide end-to-end support for patients and their families as they deal with the life-changing effects of Alzheimer’s.
How is Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosed?
There’s no single test for Alzheimer’s, or dementia. A diagnosis is based on a combination of assessments and tests. These can be done in our Private Memory Clinic in a single day.
As part of your initial consultation, the Alzheimer’s specialist will take a history of your symptoms, ask about any medications you are currently taking and review any other existing conditions you are struggling with. From there, you may be required to undertake some or all of the following assessments
- Blood tests: Physicians will test your blood to check the performance of your liver, kidneys, and thyroid, and help rule out any other possible reasons for the symptoms you are experiencing.
- Mental ability tests: These tests help assess your mental skills and health. They check things like your memory, focus, and communication skills.
- Brain scans: Other types of scan, such as a PET scan, may be recommended if the result of your MRI or CT scan is uncertain. These scans gather information about your brain structure and look for irregularities, damage, or reduction in different areas.
The results of your tests will provide the information required for specialists to put together your bespoke Alzheimer’s treatment plan.
By using the latest advances in imaging and genetics, our specialists at our London clinic will be able to answer all your questions regarding diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of progression and responses to treatment.

Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis and Treatment with Dementech
Alzheimer’s disease is complex, and effective management starts with an accurate, specialist diagnosis. While there is no single definitive test for Alzheimer’s, early and precise assessment is crucial to guide the most effective treatment strategies.
At Dementech Neurosciences, we combine cutting-edge technology with the expertise of leading Alzheimer’s specialists to ensure every patient receives the highest-quality evaluation.
Treatment for Alzheimer’s is tailored to the individual and the stage of the disease. Medications may help manage symptoms, while non-drug approaches—including cognitive stimulation, personalised therapy, social engagement, and behaviour management—can significantly improve quality of life. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with patients and families, providing end-to-end support from early intervention to advanced care.
We also prioritise prevention and risk reduction, offering strategies and tools to help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s where possible. Whether you are newly diagnosed or seeking ongoing support, our team creates a personalised plan designed to manage symptoms, maintain independence, and improve daily living.
Discover how our specialist Alzheimer’s care in London can make a real difference for you and your family.
Risk Assessment & Prevention For Alzheimer's Disease
Understanding your risk of Alzheimer’s disease is an important step in protecting your brain health and planning for the future. At Dementech Neurosciences, we offer advanced risk assessment programs that evaluate genetic factors, family history, and other key risk indicators to provide a personalised understanding of your likelihood of developing the condition.
Early insight into your risk allows us to recommend preventative strategies and lifestyle interventions that may help reduce the impact of the disease over time. These can include cognitive exercises, nutrition guidance, and tailored monitoring, alongside medical support where appropriate.
Our team uses state-of-the-art testing technology in collaboration with leading universities and research organisations, ensuring our assessments are based on the latest scientific advances. By identifying risks early, we empower individuals to take proactive steps toward maintaining brain health and accessing specialist care if needed.

“The clinic is very welcoming. I would especially like to thank Shakeela and Sobia who took good care of us and made sure my father in law was comfortable as he was very nervous. They were very polite. Dr was excellent. I would recommend this clinic. My father in law was very nervous when he arrived in the clinic but he left with a smile. This explains it all about the clinic. How wonderful they are.”

“Dementech Neurosciences is a relatively new clinic specialising in the scientific assessment and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It represents a significant development in the treatment of Parkinson’s and has done a great job of establishing itself and its reputation in a short period of time. The premises are extremely well situated in central London, the consultant neurologists are all at the top of their field in their specialisation of the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, and the clinical and administrative staff are of a similar standard. The atmosphere of the clinic is positive and the results, in the short period of time I have been able to assess, have been similarly positive.”

Alzheimer’s Disease FAQs
While genetics can play a role in Alzheimer’s risk, it’s not solely hereditary. A family history of the disease may increase your risk, but many factors contribute to its development.
There’s no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer’s, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and mental stimulation may help reduce the risk.
No, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of ageing. While age is a risk factor, not all older adults develop the disease, and many elderly individuals maintain their cognitive function.
Alzheimer’s typically progresses through stages, starting with mild memory impairment and advancing to severe cognitive and functional decline.
Alzheimer’s disease affects everyone differently, so the impact it has on daily life will depend on the individual. Common everyday activities that someone with Alzheimer’s might find challenging include:
Remembering appointments
Going shopping
Washing
Getting dressed
Eating
Communicating
Although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, there are treatments available to help reduce symptoms. The effectiveness of treatments will depend on the individual and their symptoms. Early stage Alzheimer’s treatment and late stage Alzheimer’s treatment might also differ.
Common treatments for Alzheimer’s include:
Medicines
Therapy
Cognitive rehabilitation
We endeavour to see our patients in the same week as your enquiry
