III. 3 Results of such projects in rural areas

They take into account the risk of isolation by breaking up monotony and lonelyness

They facilitate social life and meaningful activities in the community

They provide support and services to the population (home, close by home) They are a relevant support in the process of acceptance in handing over to professional care.

Some quotes :

« I’ll tell you what it feels like being an Alzheimer »« You at least do accept them (people with the disease) »« They come to get information, they learn how to meet each other »

The bar tender : « My role : welcome participants, serve drinks, help them to relax, I want people to feel good, I am deeply touched and moved by what I hear during the afternoon »« To come at the memory café is to say that there is somebody ill at home »
