Number Of Treatment

In the United States, the National Alzheimer’s Project Act was signed into law in January 2011, and the first National Plan appeared just over 12 months later, with five goals: to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease by 2025, to enhance care quality and efficiency, to expand support for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families, to enhance public awareness and engagement, and to improve data to track progress. The National Plan has seen a rise in research funding (currently standing at US$1.4 billion). Individual states, at the same time, began discussions about initiatives aimed at addressing personal, societal, and financial implications of Alzheimer’s disease. An example is from Minnesota where counselling and support for caregivers are provided, with an estimated saving for the state of Minnesota of US$970 million by 2025. In addition, a number of treatment trials are under way, looking at the effect of monoclonal antibodies on Alzheimer’s disease and a series of genetic studies.

Hospice And Palliative Care

Hospice and palliative care volunteering in the United States of America (USA) has changed dramatically since its inception in the late 1960s. Inspired by physician Dame Cicely Saunders, the modern hospice movement officially began in the USA in 1971 with Florence Wald founding the first hospice, Hospice, Inc., a non-profit in New Haven, Connecticut. Then in 1983, the US Congress established the Medicare Hospice Benefit, whose Conditions of Participation (CoPs) mandated that volunteers must provide administrative or direct patient care in an amount that, at a minimum, equals 5 per cent of the total patient care hours expended by all paid hospice employees and contract staff. Hence, every hospice programme must have a volunteer programme in order to receive reimbursement for services rendered. The primary forces currently shaping hospice and palliative care volunteering have been regulations, care quality, skill requirements, liability concerns, and changing business objectives in a highly competitive environment.
