Intervention - Individualized music listening intervention played with an iPad and a wireless neckband speaker for 30 minutes when agitation begins in addition to usual care. 5. Comparison conditions - Preferred music listening group: Preferred music listening played with an iPad and a wireless neckband speaker for 30 minutes when agitation begins in addition to usual care. - Usual care group: usual care 6. Outcomes - Level of agitation measured with the Pittsburgh Agitation Scale - Intensity of agitation measured with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited Component - Agitation occurrence frequency measured with Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory - Distress of formal caregivers related to agitation measured with Neuropsychiatric Inventory 7.
