The trend in Quebec: keep the person with Alzheimer's at home and for as long as possible! Why: the federal and provincial governments believe that the cost of accommodation is high!
According to a study by the Institute of Geriatrics of Sherbrooke, even when institutionalization becomes possible, some families choose this option, but rather continue to treat the person at home ... Another study shows that caregivers who placed the patient home care experience less pleasure to heal than others who have not had recourse to institutionalization. Only until now unanimity among all participants: services (bathing, cleaning, meals on wheels, nurse, etc.). Are insufficient.
