Cognitive and behavioral units (CBUs) have been created between 2008 and 2012 French National Alzheimer plan for the management of behavior problems of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other related disorders and necessitating hospitalisation. This Alzheimer plan is promoting the evaluation of these units through the observation of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) evolution. As these units are new, it appears important to assess their long-term impact on patients care.
EXPECTED RESULTS The present study should allow to better understand the long-term impact of CBU on care of patients with Alzheimer disease and BPSD. Moreover, it should allow to identify patients improved by CBU.
