Nurses and the health care system are the backbone and play a critical role in patients’ progress and recovery. As Alzheimer’s patients fully depend on nurses so they are more responsible for their health condition and can provide assistance in the research study of the disease. University-based studies and survey teams focus on our patients as well as nurses. For the modern-day system, nurses have also provided assistance in the development of mobile health treatment framework, and they are more important because in the end they are going use the technology and train the patient’s family members (O’Connor, 2019). Technology adaptation also lessens the financial burden for both families and the health system. According to research, the cost estimation for mental illnesses will increase by half against all other diseases in the next decade. So, technological assistance is the need of time (Knapp & Wong, 2020).
Understanding between health care system and community is vital in order to best use the resources and for coordination between them regarding the best outcomes of ongoing treatment of the patient. US Government has introduced many feasible policies and plans for the assistance of patients and their families. A two-year coordination care plan for Alzheimer’s patients helps them in cost management and easy excess in an emergency situation for patients in remote areas. Several Alzheimer’s care communities like Healthier Happens Together and Alzheimer’s Care-Individual Treatment coordinate with the government and hospitals to provide proper assistance to the patients (Jennings et al., 2019). Therapeutic treatments are included in their plans.

Along with medical care and counseling of the patients and their family’s development of possible affected treatment is also necessary which can be accelerated with the help of social services as cost management remained an unsolved problem as well. Some coordination plans participate especially in the development strategies of medicine. These programs work on increasing the effectiveness of technology regarding disease and improving the quality of life by assisting them in stress therapies. Indiana University’s Healthy aging brain Center reports a study that reveals that cost management and potential savings in this regard are possible with the help of remote therapeutic sessions and lowering the emergency situations which result in a frequent hospital visits. The Alzheimer Care Program at the University of California Las Angles (UCLA) launched a dementia care program in 2011 which was in working with the coordination of nurses, healthcare system participants, and patients (Jennings et al., 2019).
Nurses are a vital part of the coordination plan in the progress study and cost management study of AD disease. To make the whole process easy at each and every step, they provide assistance to the family members and organize training sessions to help them in the home-based care system to decrease the financial burden. The decrease in the quality of life in the case of cognitive disease is sure happening. From my evaluation, the current progress in Mr. Hardy’s mental health was the result of better care at the nursing center. Constant care requirements at nursing homes and old age centers result in extended responsibilities for care providers. As aging increases in the US population, the ratio of patients with cognitive diseases will by 2030. This focuses on the requirement of caregivers, nurses, and training for common people in case of self-assistance (Flaherty & Bartels, 2019).
Current economic challenges and lack of nurses especially at the 24-hour care centers speak for the need for more production of healthcare bodies which is possible with proper awareness about Alzheimer’s and its need. Coordination between the healthcare system and the community can provide the required knowledge for the general public. Attractive salary and financial plans included with insurance policies can also help to achieve the target. Service use in remote areas on a regular basis and emergency situations are not possible frequently so people can move towards informal. Informal caregivers may not be able to provide the proper service and specific assistance that AD patients need which also proves the importance for nurses (Bieber et al., 2019).
