Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The STIM-EHPAD study (for stimulation in nursing home) aims to evaluate the short and medium term effectiveness of staff education as a non-pharmacological intervention to manage apathy in older people with a diagnosis of dementia.

* Primary efficacy criteria: Apathy Inventory clinician score changes
* Secondary efficacy criteria: Apathy Inventory patient and caregiver version changes, Observation scale changes, frequency and severity of the other BPSD using the NPI, qualitative analysis of the nursing home staff behavioural changes

EHPAD Training and Stimulation

EHPAD of the group of Training / Stimulation will benefit:

* after a training in behaviours to be held or in methods of stimulation aiming at the reduction of disturbances of behaviour at type of apathy. This information will be transmitted in l 'ensemble of l 'équipe of l 'EHPAD by a training officer.
* of a structuring of the activities of animation offered to the inhabitants, This information will be regrouped in chips worked out like TNM - EHPAD.
