Study design
dementia
This was a 3-month parallel randomized controlled trial study with assessment at baseline, after one month and at the end of the 3-month intervention period. The study was conducted between December 2022 and March 2023, in the Protected Life Units (PLUs), which belong to the Pavillon Jacques Chauvire nursing home, belonging to the Mont d'Or Geriatric Hospital, France. PLUs are small units that provide accommodation for older people with dementia who, for the most part, present neuropsychiatric symptoms that make it impossible to house them in conventional units.
