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 successful Alzheimer's Demonstration program models: Mobile Day Care Rural Geriatric Dementia Evaluation, El Portal services for Latino, Client Advocates, and AL-CARE services for clients who live alone.
阿尔茨海默病示范项目于1991年设立，旨在为患有阿尔茨海默病的患者及其家庭开发基于家庭和社区的护理模式。经过十多年的项目经验和评估，阿尔茨海默病示范项目已经产生了大量关于如何与应对阿尔茨海默病的家庭成功合作的信息。特别是，示范项目在开发创新项目模式和服务传统上服务不足人群（如少数民族、低收入和农村家庭）的方法方面非常成功。特别值得关注的是，大量成功的项目组成部分可在各种社区环境中复制。本文提供了成功的阿尔茨海默病示范项目模式的详细项目和复制信息：移动日托农村老年痴呆症评估、为拉丁裔提供的埃尔波特尔服务、客户倡导者以及为独居客户提供的AL-CARE服务。
