More information for you from respondents below, but do know that in these things, the internet is your friend. Just be certain of the sites you get information from . Some are merely ads cloaked as something "real". In this case, the program IS real, experimental, and may get you some funds. Good luck!
I have mentioned it several times in various posts. Seems like it could help quite a bit in many cases. You can not take advantage of it if the person is on Hospice. Not exactly "new" this program went into effect JULY 1 2024 I only became aware of it this past summer. I think there has been poor dissemination of this information. To qualify a person must be diagnosed with a dementia. The program provides a lot of training, offers support, resources, referrals and can provide up to $2500 per year for caregiving/respite to name a few benefits.
This was mentioned a few months ago by one of our regular posters. It’s connected with certain providers who are participating. Sort of a trial program in different parts of the country was my impression. The following is copied from the link I posted. XXXXXX
GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) Model
The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model is a voluntary, nationwide model testing the impact of providing comprehensive services and supports for people with dementia and their caregivers. The model began on July 1, 2024, and will run for 8 years. Key Points Problem: People with dementia often experience fragmented care that leads to poor health outcomes, and they typically need comprehensive caregiver support; family caregivers, who are often people with Medicare themselves, bear significant mental, physical, emotional, and financial burdens. Solution: The GUIDE Model advances coordinated dementia care to support both people with dementia and their caregivers by providing evidence-based services including: care navigation, 24/7 access to a support line, caregiver training and education, respite services up to $2,500 annually, and connections to community resources. Outcomes: The GUIDE Model enables people with dementia to remain safely in their homes and communities longer by preventing or delaying nursing home placement, improving quality of life for both patients and caregivers, and reducing Medicare and Medicaid expenditures. Strategy: The GUIDE Model empowers caregivers with evidence-based tools and support while providing coordinated care management that addresses both patient and caregiver needs, ultimately preventing costlier interventions and improving health outcomes for America’s aging population. Model Details
The GUIDE Model provides Medicare coverage for a comprehensive package of care coordination and care management for people with dementia, along with support for qualifying caregivers including education and respite services. The model’s interventions help people with dementia to remain in their homes and communities while supporting caregiver health and wellbeing.
