Summary

France put a massive effort for improving dementia care through a national Alzheimer plan in 2008 and this effort was confirmed by the next government (Neurodegenerative Diseases Plan 2014-2019). Some new care models and interventions have been implemented such as Alzheimer specialized teams offering occupational therapy. The teams intervene at home with medical prescription. A recent pilot study demonstrated that occupational therapy has the potential to bring clinical benefits for both dementia patients and their caregivers. Nevertheless, occupational therapy has been designed as a short-term intervention and the end of intervention is challenging for therapists and patients. We aim to test the clinical and economic efficacy of maintaining occupational therapy over supplementary 4 months in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
