Alzheimer, i โ€œCaffรจโ€ verso lโ€™inserimento nelle Linee guida nazionali: arte e socialitร  come cura

Italian health authorities are moving to recognize "Cafรฉ Alzheimer" programs in official national treatment guidelines. These cafรฉs, which blend art activities with social gatherings, have shown real benefits for people living with dementia. The proposal would formally acknowledge that creative expression and human connection can work alongside medical care. Supporters argue that structured social settings help slow cognitive decline and improve quality of life for patients and their families. The move signals a broader shift toward treating dementia with a mix of medicine and community-based support.
