Summary
This study tests a French questionnaire designed to identify spatial orientation problems in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will ask 330 participants—including Alzheimer's patients, their caregivers, and healthy older adults—to fill out the questionnaire. The goal is to see if the tool is reliable and useful for spotting early signs of disorientation, which could lead to better care and support.
