Laura Foy, Care Navigator for AuthoraCare Collective, discusses Medicare’s GUIDE Program (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience.
The GUIDE Model focuses on comprehensive, coordinated dementia care and aims to improve quality of life for people with dementia, reduce strain on their unpaid caregivers, and enable people with dementia to remain in their homes and communities. It will achieve these goals through Medicare payments for a comprehensive package of care coordination and care management, caregiver education and support, and respite services. The model began on July 1, 2024, and will run for eight years.
