The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, with almost 400 participating organizations building Dementia Care Programs (DCPs) that serve Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. Through the GUIDE Model, CMS will test an alternative payment for participants who deliver support services to people with dementia, including comprehensive, person-centered assessments and care plans, care coordination, and 24/7 access to a support line. People with dementia and their caregivers will have access to a care navigator who will assist in gaining access to services and supports through community-based organizations.
