The Alzheimer's Connections Demonstration Program: instituting a national case management program.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Alzheimer's Connections Demonstration Program was designed to study the most effective ways of linking families with needed services and resources. The five-year demonstration, begun in 1995, funded case management programs in 29 Alzheimer's Association chapters and served 2,313 families. This paper reports on the final two years of the project when all programs were operational. During this period, 800 families were served. The findings indicate that the programs complement the existing chapter services by offering a specific intervention with caregivers. At the end of the demonstration, all chapters planned to continue the program as case management increased their visibility in the community through their ability to offer direct services.
