Abstract

SUMMARY The Alzheimer's Demonstration program was established in 1991 to develop models of home and community-based care for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their families. After more than ten years of program experience and evaluation, the Alzheimer's Demonstration program has generated significant information about how to work successfully with families coping with Alzheimer's disease. In particular, the Demonstration program has been very successful in developing innovative program models and approaches to serving traditionally underserved populations such as ethnic minorities, low income, and rural families. Of particular interest is the significant number of successful project components that are replicable in a variety of community settings. This article provides detailed programmatic and replication information for five successful Alzheimer's Demonstration program models: Mobile Day Care, Rural Geriatric Dementia Evaluation, El Portal services for Latinos, Client Advocates, and AL-CARE services for clients who live alone.
