Medicare has a new pilot program to help people with dementia. Here's how it works
Briefly

GUIDE Model provides free caregiving navigators to help Medicare beneficiaries with dementia and their family caregivers navigate the complex healthcare system, offering training, regular meetings, and 24/7 help lines.
Medicare reimburses GUIDE participants up to $390 a month based on the complexity of care provided, relieving financial burden on beneficiaries. Participants also offer free respite care up to $2,500 for caregivers.
A survey shows healthcare workers find the U.S. system ineffective in dementia care navigation, while 70% of caregivers find coordination of care stressful. GUIDE Model addresses these crucial needs.
