Empowering families through PocketRN’s coordinated dementia care  

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. It can sometimes mean providing around-the-clock support, trying to understand complex health needs and navigating various healthcare systems. 

Through our partnership with PocketRN, your family can benefit from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, a groundbreaking government-backed initiative that provides comprehensive dementia care and caregiver support. Our goal is to help families like yours access the services, resources, and relief you need to keep your loved one safe and supported at home. If your family qualifies, this can include up to 72 hours of Medicare-covered home care services annually—with no out-of-pocket costs. 

This comprehensive support can help: 

  • Reduce hospitalizations and ER visits 
  • Delay or prevent nursing home placement 
  • Improve management of behavioral symptoms 
  • Support physical, emotional, and mental health for both clients and family caregivers 
  • Address health-related social needs through community referrals 
  • Provide financial relief through Medicare-covered services 

What is the GUIDE Model? 

Launched by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model is a nationwide program designed to improve the quality of life for people with dementia and reduce strain on their unpaid family caregivers. 

GUIDE provides coordinated care through: 

  • A dedicated Care Navigator for families 
  • 24/7 support lines for questions or concerns 
  • Access to caregiver education, training, and counseling 
  • Connections to community-based services like transportation and meals 
  • Respite care services for qualifying families, offering temporary relief 

By connecting families with our trusted partner PocketRN, we can help ensure that your loved one receives thoughtful, integrated care—and that you, as a family caregiver, get the support and respite you need through the CMS GUIDE program.
