New Model Enhances Care Coordination for individuals with dementia and Increases Support for their caregivers.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is taking further action on its commitment to promote care and support for people with Medicare living with dementia and their unpaid caregivers. Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), announced its Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, which aims to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia, reduce strain on unpaid caregivers, and help people remain in their homes and communities through a package of care coordination and management, caregiver education and support, and respite services. The GUIDE Model will be tested by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation and is a key deliverable from President Biden’s April 2023 Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers, as well as key goals of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease (National Plan).”
“CMS will release the application for GUIDE, a voluntary, nationwide model, in Fall 2023. Prior to the application release, interested organizations are encouraged to submit Letters of Intent to CMS by September 15, 2023. The model will run for eight years beginning July 1, 2024.”
For additional information, CMS has developed a GUIDE Model Fact Sheet or visit the GUIDE Model webpage.
The specific benefits and features of the GUIDE Model, will enhance care coordination, education, support services, and respite care for both individuals with dementia and caregivers.
The GUIDE Model aligns with existing initiatives and strategies to address Alzheimer’s Disease and promote high-quality care.
