A Supportive community program for Alzheimer's
Organization information
Action culturelle Alzheimer
Location: Paris, France
Summary
ARTZ offers persons with Alzheimer's, with one-on-one support and the accompaniment of a trained volunteer, cycles of adapted visits to art museums. Participatory, reciprocal engagement experiences benefit the person with dementia, volunteer, and caregiver. The interaction with culture contributes to the prevention of the loss of autonomy through a structured methodology which permits the stimulation of cognitive, motor, or relational capacities in these individuals.
