Original language description
In the Czech Republic there are over 10 sites specialising in Alzheimer's disease and the country is involved in many international research projects, some into service delivery and quality of services. A National Alzheimer or Dementia plan is being finalised. Hungary reports high alcohol consumption as a possible causative factor for relatively high prevalence rates of dementia, as well as higher than usual prevalence of vascular dementia. There is a network of specialised services called 'Dementia Centres', but these have limited efficiency. There are many non-governmental and some patient organisations active in dementia care. Poland is seeing a gradual move from an institutional model of mental health care towards a model based in the person's environment. There is a plethora of services for people with dementia, but structure is lacking and the vast majority of people with dementia are looked after by their families. However, there is a government endorsed 'National Alzheimer's Program'. In Turkey most assessments are still carried out in specialist centres (neurology, geriatric medicine and psychiatry). There are high levels of traditional family support and since 2003 the Turkish Alzheimer Foundation operates a care centre for people with dementia in Istanbul, this being the first specialist care centre for people with dementia in Turkey. It recently expanded and now provides extensive home-based care, actively supporting caregivers.
