132 Alzheimer's care facilities and Dementia special care units

A prosthetic unit is a living environment that is adapted to the needs of seniors who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia that can lead to behavioural disorders, such as intrusive wandering, disorientation, inappropriate behaviour and running away. These units are safe because they have coded access doors. They also use an approach that respects and takes into consideration the rhythm of each person and normalizes certain behaviours related to cognitive deficits.
