On this occasion, the students of our school carried out activities on the topic "Let's get to know Alzheimer's disease" in exercises and classes. Thus, in the exercises of the subject Health Care of the Elderly, fifth-grade students conducted a survey "Assessment of Dementia according to Folstein", which allows them to recognize the signs and symptoms of dementia.
