Dementias include a set of pathologies, including:

• Alzheimer's disease;

• vascular dementia;

• frontotemporal dementia;

• Lewy body dementia;

• mixed forms.

People affected by dementias or Alzheimer's suffer from functional deficits and behavioral disorders. These pathologies can profoundly affect the autonomy and quality of life of the patient, which is why they can access specific assistance, which also involves those who take care of them.

If you are assisting a person who may be suffering from these pathologies, the first step is to consult the general practitioner.

People affected by forms of dementia or Alzheimer's can rely on a personalized and diversified assistance pathway, from diagnosis throughout the course of the disease.

The assistance offer includes:

• diagnostic activities;

• pharmacological, psychological, and educational therapies;

• social and health assistance, such as Integrated Home Care (ADI) and support for families.

The therapies work in synergy and aim for a improvement in the quality of life.

Through so-called cognitive activation, the progression of the disease is slowed down and, as much as possible, the person's autonomy is safeguarded.

The regional offer is completed with Residential Health Care Facilities (RSA) in residential or semi-residential form.
