For more than fifteen years, governments have sought to develop responses tailored to the challenges posed by the increase in the number of people with Alzheimer’s or a related disease. With the creation of a new plan that is no longer specific to Alzheimer’s disease and the adoption of the law “Adaptation de la société au vieillissement (Adaptation of society to ageing) which only briefly mentions people with Alzheimer’s disease, it appears that a specialization cycle has ended. We propose in this article to reconsider a particular dimension of this sequence, that of the evolutions of rights and their uses in the regulation of care for people with Alzheimer’s disease, in a general context of attention to the rights of patients and users of care and support relationships.
