This project was developed by the Navarro Health Service and the Navarra Association of Relatives of Alzheimer's Patients (AFAN). The creation of a website on the Navarra Health Portal for caregivers of people with dementia has been encouraged. More than 6,000 people suffer from dementia in Navarre, of whom nearly 5,000 live in their homes, according to the Department of Health. The purpose of the web is to help your care and self-care.

In addition, it proposes joint activities with people with dementia, advises adaptation to the environment and offers principles for cognitive stimulation of people with memory problems. Cognitive stimulation is part of the Therapeutic Plan and, therefore, the web explains how to adapt to the changing needs of each person.

On the web, several audiovisual materials can be found that tell the experiences of caregivers and that explain non-pharmacological resources in the face of psychological symptoms and dementia behaviors. The latter has collaborated with Josefina Arregui clinic.
