The doctor wil select carer -patient couples more likely to take part in the study. The investigator will give them an informative leaflet and they will have to sign the consent form.

The non-drug approaches presented will be carried out directly at the participant's home with the help of the carer for therapeutic purposes.

The therapeutic objectives and the choice of approaches are specified within the Personalised Accompaniment Project (PAP).

The carer, if he or she wishes, participates in the sessions in order to reproduce the behaviours implemented by the psychologist.

Different workshops will be offered : Cooking, Art Therapy, Games, Multi-sensory, Soft Gymnastic, Relaxation, Music and Reminisence.

Patients will received three visits per week during six months. The carer will receive one visit per week for six months.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
