these areas composed the clinical and sociological database that, in
addition to its intrinsic interest for research purposes, supports the

the Center.

In the Clinical department, further advancing in the knowledge of
neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease, is establi-

in the study of degenerative disorders that cause dementia in order
to ultimately obtain better treatment for those who, directly or indi-

Every six months the professionals of the Clinical Department and
the Residency of the Queen Sofia Foundation Alzheimer’s Center ca-
rry out reviews based on a rigorous protocol that enables continuous
monitoring of each patient, by assessing their quality of life, neurolo-
gical status as well as their mental, affective and functional behavior.
