Although the role of caregiver brings its share of difficulties, it also brings positive aspects. The presence of enjoyable moments shared by caregivers and their loved one with neurocognitive impairment is a powerful driver in this perspective. The "Together for Fun" program offers caregivers and their loved ones the opportunity to maintain meaningful activities in the community, thus breaking their isolation and enhancing their quality of life. This program also aims to empower caregivers to pursue enjoyable activities in their daily lives with their loved one. The evaluation of the program highlighted the positive impacts of such an approach from a caregiver support perspective, while also being a source of good care for loved ones with neurocognitive impairment.
