[Caring for "young" Alzheimer's patients in a home for dependent elderly people].
Alzheimer's disease can affect people under the age of 60, considered as "young" patients. In France, the disease affects 8 000 such people today. Caring for them at home is sometimes impossible and the 2008-2012 Alzheimer plan comprises a measure to reflect on requirements with regard to medico-social establishments. For the last ten years, a residential home for dependent elderly people in the north of France has regularly taken in "young" residents with Alzheimer's disease and reports, via a study, on their characteristics and their needs.
