Previously, an intervention approach based on the meanings of screams of older people living with Alzheimer’s disease in a long-term care facility was developed. It aims to identify the meanings of screams and to associate them to customize interventions in a family-formal caregivers partnership.

Previously, an intervention approach based on the meanings of screams in older people living with Alzheimer’s disease in a long-term care facility was developed. It aims to identify the meanings of screams and to associate them to customize interventions in a family-formal caregivers partnership.

A pilot study took place to assess the implementation process of this approach and its potential effects on older people, family and formal caregivers. The research report is now available on the Chair’s website:
