The GUIDE Model

The GUIDE Model provides comprehensive, coordinated dementia care. It improves quality of life for people with dementia by enabling them to remain in their homes and communities and reducing strain on their unpaid caregivers. The GUIDE program provides care coordination and management, caregiver education and support, and respite services. GUIDE is available at no out-of-pocket cost to patients with traditional Medicare.

A member of our team will visit the patient and caregiver at the home or virtually to assess and determine individual needs.
A Care Navigator will develop and implement a person-centered care plan led by the patient and the caregiver.
24/7 access to a help line to assist with needs.
The Care Navigator will connect routinely via phone to provide ongoing support and monitoring and make changes to the care plan as needed.
A Care Navigator will coordinate medical and dementia care with the primary care provider, assist with medication management, and provide support after hospital and ER stays.
LifeCare Solutions will refer and connect the beneficiary and Caregiver to community-based services and supports that address the common needs of persons with dementia and their Caregivers.
The Care Navigator will work with the patient’s PCP and other health care providers to monitor medication adherence, assist with pharmacy packaging solutions, and monitor medication changes.
If a caregiver is identified, the care navigator will provide caregiver skills training including:
- Dementia diagnosis information
- Support group services
- One-on-one support calls via 24/7 hotline
LifeCare Solutions will refer to contracted providers of in-home respite services, adult day centers and facilities. Each beneficiary with an identified un-paid caregiver will receive $2,500 per year for respite.
