Abstract

In the framework of a policy to open up cultural sites within the city to the specific disability of Alzheimer's disease, the Resource and Research Memory Centre at Nice general hospital in partnership with Nice's city hall, has developed a cultural programme. The aim of this project is to assess the therapeutic aspects of this programme and notably the perception of the disease by the family carers.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; aidant; carer; culture; maladie d’Alzheimer; stigmatisation; stigmatization.
