As our nation grows and ages, we are working to ensure that the needs of minority, low-income, and rural elders with Alzheimer's disease are being addressed. Through the Alzheimer's Demonstration Program, several models of care for various special populations were developed. We encourage you to consider incorporating elements from these models into your service delivery system.
