Study Summary
This trial aims to reduce vocal behaviours (VB) in older people with Alzheimer's disease living in long-term care facilities, which may indicate ill-being and disturb others. A new approach was developed based on finding the underlying reasons for VB through a partnership between family and formal caregivers. The goals are to reduce VB, enhance older people's well-being, and increase family and formal caregivers' empowerment.
