A New Look at Community-Based Respite Programs

A New Look at Community-Based Respite Programs provides you with the results of an evaluation of the Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration Grants to States program, authorized by Congress in 1990 to promote the development of statewide support systems for caregivers of— and individuals with—Alzheimer's disease. The ADDGS program proved to be very effective, especially at reaching traditionally underserved clients. You'll learn about the role of cultural influences on client satisfaction, the importance of forging new partnerships between community and government agencies, and the best ways to help the most people. This book includes detailed analyses of a variety of support service systems from across the country, providing you with valuable information you can use to duplicate the many successful ADDGS programs with your own clients.
