An aging population is leading to an increase in neurodegenerative disorders that are responsible for loss of autonomy. In order to keep patients with neurocognitive impairment at home, the availability of home caregivers is essential. The neurocognitive deterioration of elderly patients is a significant burden for home caregivers and can affect their quality of life. The implementation of formal home help (personalized autonomy allowance for seniors) can relieve home caregivers and improve their quality of life.~Conduct of research:~Elderly patients followed in the geriatric department of the Mulhouse French hospital, and for whom a formal home help (personalized autonomy allowance for seniors) is initiated will be recruited. The evolution of home caregiver's quality of life, burden and vulnerability, will be assessed during three months.
The purpose of this prospective monocenter observational study is to assess the impact of the first introduction of formal home help (personalized autonomy allowance for seniors) on the quality of life of home caregivers of elderly patients with neurocognitive impairment.
