Access to the Village in semi-residential regime occurs through an application submitted by the family member and/or support administrator. People with diagnosis of mild and moderate Alzheimer’s are admitted, without severe behavioral disorders, and with compensated comorbidity, compatible with the pathology. Attendance is two to three times a week for a maximum of 20 people per day.
The access evaluation is not only medical but psycho-social and is carried out by a multidisciplinary team.
The care procedure includes:
application submission by caregiver and/or support administrator, multidisciplinary evaluation, care decision during team meeting, placement in day centre, periodic re-evaluation every 3 months.
The guest is discharged upon their own or family request, or when psychophysical wellbeing conditions require different forms of assistance from those offered, at the unquestionable judgment of the Management.
The semi-residential facility operates six hours a day, 5 days a week, for 11.5 months a year.
