Program Development Strategies

Although each Alzheimer's Demonstration Project is unique and designed to meet the specific needs of a particular community or population, there are program and service development strategies common to all projects. These lessons are important as they stress the value of an appropriate approach, working with the local community to achieve "buy-in" and moving through service development efforts in a logical way.

Through a 1997 national evaluation of the Alzheimer's Demonstration Program, there were a number of lessons that were found to be important to successful service development and delivery. The Administration on Aging commissions a new evaluation of the Alzheimer's Demonstration Program approximately once every 3 years, which coincides with the project periods for each set of grantees. The last report was completed in 1997. References to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) are included as HRSA administered the Alzheimer's Demonstration Program until 1998 when Congress transferred it to AoA.

Our 2000 evaluation is in progress and will be posted when it is available.

Please direct any questions about the evaluation to:
