Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to verify that virtual reality is tolerably compatible with apathetic pathologies in patients and residents with major neurocognitive disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does virtual reality have an impact on symptoms of apathy in the elderly?
* Is virtual reality well tolerated by the elderly? Participants will benefit from a 3-session virtual reality headset program with a healthcare professional. They will have one session per week for 3 weeks. They will be observed by another professional, who will complete observation grids on apathy, engagement in activity and tolerance of the virtual reality headset.

There is not a comparison group: Researchers will compare the scores before and after the intervention: the participant will be his own control.
