Closed 12-bed unit

 

Medical Activity

12-bed follow-up care and rehabilitation unit specialised in the management of patients with Alzheimer's disease or related neurodegenerative diseases and severe behavioural disorders.

This unit is secure.

The management of these difficult patients is oriented towards a less drug-based management, insofar as possible. An occupational therapist and a psychologist are assigned to this unit for this purpose. The staff who work there are volunteers and are trained in these diseases.

The stays last on average 1 to 2 months according to medical advice.
