Brief Summary: This project will enable optimization of specific carried out by occupationist for older adults discharged from hospital for falls:

* on the environmental dimension at the participant's home
* on the involvement of the caregiver since they are also involved in the care of the patient
* on the recurrence of falls and rehospitalizations in order to improve the quality of life by reassuring the elderly person when traveling
* on limiting loss of autonomy and staying at home. The occupational therapist will entrust the caregiver with a support role. The participant will feel more involved in the participant's care (thus reducing the feeling of helplessness). His actions will allow him to strengthen his sense of competence and will prevent him from physical and psychological exhaustion.
Detailed Description: Falls constitute the greatest cause of loss of autonomy among people aged over 65 and are often the cause of injuries leading to hospitalization and therefore significant costs. Additionally, people who have fallen before are at greater risk of falling again. People aged 65 and over with dementia fall 3 times more than people without the condition. The physical and psychological consequences of these falls in patients with dementia accelerate their loss of autonomy and ultimately lead to admission to an institution.

Occupational therapy assessment in the patient's home is an effective approach to reducing falls in the general population. Indeed, the occupational therapist's care consists of carrying out a complete assessment to highlight the links that exist between a person and their abilities, their occupations in the broad sense and the environment in which their occupations take place. The occupational therapist then proposes a personalized intervention plan (objectives and means) and follow-up which may consist of the installation of technical and technological aids, home design, advice and information for people and their caregivers.

The COTID (Community Occupational Therapist in Dementia) program is a tool for describing the stages of an occupational therapy program based on evidence (scenario-based), according to a systemic approach focused on older people with dementia and their caregivers. This has been validated and widely used in the Netherlands since 2009. Indeed, it has shown its effectiveness in terms of successfully keeping elderly people with dementia at home but also in preventing the risk of caregiver burnout. through systemic care for the couple.
